Iowa State Cyclones vs Providence Friars Point Spread Picks

The Iowa State Cyclones will try to put the brakes on the Providence Friars who like to get out and run the floor. Iowa St. played up-tempo in their opening four games, but against very soft competition. When the only test they have had was vs. mid-major Drake, they were far more limited, scoring just 65 points in that one. They don't want to invite a track meet vs. Providence as they simply don't have the depth and talent to do so. Providence has played 5-2 to the UNDER in their last seven as a neutral-site dog, and unfamiliar shooting backgrounds often lead to lower-scoring games than anticipated. Go with the UNDER in this one.
