This is a trap game for Iowa State, as it is the only one in a stretch of six games that its opponent is not nationally ranked. This leaves the Cyclones vulnerable to covering a big point spread on the road, and they come off a 79-69 loss to BYU, in which the Cougars shot 50 percent. Iowa State is just 2-5 ATS in its past seven Tuesday games, and Utah is 9-3 ATS in its past 12 games as an underdog, 4-1 ATS in its past five games overall. The Cyclones had a big win at home over Houston last week, but that doesn't look so impressive anymore as Houston just lost its third straight for the first time since 2017. Utah is 8-0 ATS in its past eight games, getting double digits. The Utes took Central Florida to the wire despite 53 percent shooting by the Knights on Saturday. Take Utah.
