Iowa State at Texas Tech picks and predictions

Prediction

Iowa State 69, Texas Tech 64

Moneyline

You can bet IOWA STATE (-110) if you don’t want to worry about the single point on the spread. Texas Tech has yet to win a conference game this season and I don’t envision the Red Raiders getting their 1st on Monday.

Against the spread

IOWA STATE -1.5 (+100) is the ideal way to bet the spread despite the Cyclones being the road team. There is slightly more value here than on the moneyline, but there is a chance that Iowa State wins and falls short of covering the spread.

The Cyclones are 8-3 ATS in their last 11 games following an ATS loss and the Red Raiders are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 home games.

Over/Under

LEAN OVER 129.5 (-110) in this Big 12 matchup.

Even though Iowa State allows only 60.5 points per game (12th in the nation), these 2 teams combine for 145.1 points per game.

Texas Tech has gone Over in 7 of its last 8 games following a win and 6 of its last 7 home games against a team with a losing road record (Iowa State is 2-4 in true road games).

Big 12 Tournament: Iowa State vs. Texas Tech odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Thursday’s Iowa State vs. Texas Tech odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

The No. 6-seed Iowa State Cyclones (20-11) and No. 3 Texas Tech Red Raiders (23-8) meet in a Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal Thursday. The contest at the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City is slated to tip off at 9:30 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Iowa State vs. Texas Tech odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

Iowa State sports a below-average Big 12 offense, but the Cyclones are strong at the defensive end. That combination has made for some streaky play, at least in terms of the resulting wins and losses in a 7-11 Big 12 campaign. During that league slate, ISU went 1-1 against the Red Raiders.

Texas Tech also has a strong defense, but the Raiders add to that a solid offensive game, especially in and around the paint. Currently ranked No. 14 in the nation, the Raiders have held opposing teams to a 38.9% mark from the floor in going 8-3 since Jan. 29. TTU went 12-6 in league play.

Iowa State vs. Texas Tech odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas Tech 69, Iowa State 59

Money line

PASS. The profit here is looked up in the middle of these prices.

Against the spread

The Raiders lost their last game and are 7-1 ATS in their last eight games following a straight-up loss.

Texas Tech has much the better offense here. Their athletic length makes for a mismatch against the Cyclones.

In its Jan. 5 loss to ISU (51-47), TTU experienced an outlier 41.8% effective field goal mark. The Raiders were coming off a seven-day layoff after having coasted in a pair of holiday-week non-conference games.

The lean here is not a strong one, but it is one on the Raiders getting to a three-of-four-possession game. TAKE TEXAS TECH -8.5 (-107).

Over/Under

This total is the lowest of the three meetings this season. Perimeter shooting doesn’t figure to pile up triples in this contest, but some two-way turnover-transition ball can be expected and Texas Tech has the potential to go big in second-chance and free-throw points.

Again on a slight lean, TAKE THE OVER 125.5 (-108).

Iowa State at Texas Tech odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Tuesday’s Iowa State at Texas Tech odds and lines, with college basketball expert picks, predictions and best bets.

On Tuesday evening, the No. 14 Iowa State Cyclones (14-3) travel to United Supermarkets Arena to take on the No. 19 Texas Tech Red Raiders (13-4). Tip-off is scheduled for 9 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Iowa State at Texas Tech odds and lines, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.

The Cyclones are coming into this game having played a brutal conference stretch to this point. Four of their last five games have been against top-25 opponents.

They’re 2-3 overall in that stretch with losses to Baylor, Kansas and Oklahoma. They defeated Texas Tech earlier in the year at home. Iowa State is a conference-best 11-6 ATS this season.

The Red Raiders are 10-7 ATS, the second-best ATS record in the Big 12. Despite an 11-point defeat by Kansas State, they’ve beaten Baylor and Kansas, both top-ten teams, in their last four games.

Iowa State at Texas Tech odds, lines, picks and predictions

Prediction

Texas Tech 64, Iowa State 60

Money line

PASS on the money line.

Home-court advantage matters too much to bet on the upset at +290, especially with Iowa State being given 8.5 points on the spread. That’s the preferred way to bet this game.

Against the spread

BET on IOWA STATE +8.5 (-115).

Iowa State welcomed Texas Tech and beat them by 4 points earlier in the year. While Tech has a few impressive victories since then, they’ve also lost to an underwhelming Kansas State team by 11.

Both teams have seniors as three of their top four scorers, so there will be a ton of experience on the court, which should bode well for this being a close-fought game.

What the Cyclones do well is shoot from deep, averaging the fourth-most 3-pointers per game in conference play. That’s the weakness of the Red Raiders, allowing in-conference opponents to hoist up 24.4 3-pointers per game.

With Iowa State G Izaiah Brockington shooting 39% from deep, I expect him and a veteran Cyclones team to be able to keep this game within 8.

Over/Under

“LEAN” to the UNDER 129.5 (-115).

As noted, both teams are led by seniors and thrive defensively. That’s going to bode well for a slower pace, which is exactly what we saw in the 51-47 matchup in Iowa.

Both teams are 7-10 O/U this season, so it’s been profitable to bet against more points in their respective games so far.

Iowa State at Texas Tech: Three things to know

  1. Iowa State lost, 81-67, against Texas Tuesday night. The Cyclones were outscored, 20-7, on foul shots. ISU has averaged just 7.0 free-throw attempts over its last four games. For the season, the Cyclones are averaging just 11.6 FTA per contest (246th NCAA-I).
  2. The Red Raiders are coming off  back-to-back wins after enduring a three-game losing streak. Texas Tech beat Texas Saturday and TCU on Tuesday. The Raiders allowed a combined 118 points over their two recent wins; that lowered their season points-per-game-allowed average to 62.6. That mark ranks 20th in the nation.
  3. TTU shot a season-high 58.9% from the floor in a 91-64 victory at Iowa State Jan. 9. The 27-point victory marks the Raiders’ largest margin in a Big 12 game this season.

Against the spread (ATS)

The Red Raiders are much the better team at both ends of the floor, but in a game that may not reach the mid-130s, a 16-1/2-point tag is a big ask. PASS.

Over/Under (O/U)

Junior G Rasir Bolton is listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Bolton is the Cyclones’ leading scorer (15.4 points per game) and assist man (3.9 per game). ISU’s defense has been improving during the season; TTU’s had been on the decline, but recent games have righted the ship at that end of the floor. And analytics fully back the Raiders’ placement in the points-per-game-allowed department.

TAKE THE UNDER 136.5 (-110).
