Against the spread
LEAN IOWA STATE -6.5 (-105).
Iowa State has played its best basketball at home this season with an undefeated 12-0 record while Oklahoma State has struggled on the road, posting just a 3-5 record.
While the Cyclones have struggled recently against the spread, just 1 of their previous 5 ATS losses has come at home. They are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 home games including a victory over No. 8 ranked Kansas last Saturday.
The favorite in the last 12 meetings between these programs is 9-3 ATS.
Over/Under
BET OVER 127.5 (-105).
While neither team has a particularly good offense, as it stands, the line of 127.5 would be tied for the 2nd-lowest closing line in Oklahoma State’s previous 10 games and Iowa State’s third-lowest closing line in its last 10.
The Over is 5-0 in the Cowboys’ last 5 games overall and 4-0 in their last 4 games following an outright win. For the Cyclones, the Over is 5-1 in their last 6 home games.
