Line: Iowa State Cyclones (+2) vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys (-2) – view all NCAA Basketball lines
No. 14 Iowa State didn’t just prevent suffering back-to-back losses when it beat the West Virginia Mountaineers (79-55) on February 14; the Cyclones also added another Top 50 victim, thus improving their chances for a higher seed in the Big Dance. They could add to that list when they face No. 22 Top 27 RPI Oklahoma State tonight. After winning three-straight games against Top 32 RPI teams, the Cowboys ran into a wall in the form of the TCU Horned Frogs, who dealt Oklahoma State a 70-55 loss on Valentine’s Day. The Cyclones are 5-5 ATS in their last 10 games on the road. The Cowboys, meanwhile, are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 home games. Iowa State won in its first meeting with the Cowboys this season, 63-61.
Writer’s Prediction
Oklahoma State wins, 70-67.
