Result:
WIN

No. 10 Iowa State is playing with house money, posted a convincing win over Notre Dame in its tourney opener, and is already further than many people expected. The Cyclones used a balanced attack against Notre Dame, which has been the case all year as they blitz opponents with a barrage of three-pointers. The Cyclones hit nine three-pointers against the Irish, one under their season average. They've been undervalued all year, with the Cyclones 9-4 ATS against a team with a winning record. No. 2 Ohio State got here with defense before routing Iona the last game. They prefer a slower pace usually and the way to attack them is by running, something Iowa State is great at. Duke beat Ohio State earlier, shooting 41% from long range and 47% from the field, as did Kansas, shooting 51% overall and 45% from beyond the arc. Their biggest drubbing was by Illinois, who shot 48% and hit eight three-pointers. The Buckeyes are 0-5-1 ATS in their last six against the Big 12 and Iowa State has plenty of depth and offense to keep this close. Take Iowa State.
