UMKC at Iowa State

December 9, 2014
img7:00 PM Eastern

Iowa State had a great team last year, and lost to eventual champion UConn in the NCAA Tournament. They have played a pretty tough schedule to date and have come up with a 5-1 start to the season. This game vs. UMKC is sandwiched between Arkansas, and next up is Iowa. After a pretty strong schedule so far, and another tough team on deck, this is the perfect lay down spot for the Cyclones vs. a vastly inferior opponent. The Kangaroos beat Missouri by 8, and lost to Kansas State by just 10, so they have shown a penchant to be talented enough to hang around The number in this one is way up in the rafters, so I think they can hold serve once again and grab the money. The Cyclones lay down vs. bad road teams at 1-4 ATS in their last five vs. a team under .400 on the road. Take the points on UMKC in this one.
