Oklahoma State at Iowa State

The Iowa State Cyclones had a great team a year ago, but were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament by eventual Champion UConn. They have brought a lot of pieces back from that team. They have lost just twice on the season, and are unbeaten at home where they own an impressive 18-point win over a two-loss Arkansas team. They have also won at Iowa rather handily as a +5 point dog. Oklahoma State is 11-2 on the season, but hasn't ventured into the deep end of the pool much. They have not had to play on the road but twice this season, and the one elite team they faced beat them pretty good in Maryland. Marcus Smart did a lot for this team last year, and this is the type of game where they will miss him the most. The Cowboys don't travel well and are 17-35-1 ATS in their last 53 road games vs. a team with a winning home record. The Cyclones come in at 10-3 ATS in their last 13 vs. a team over .600, and show up for the big games. Lay the points on Iowa State.
