The No. 25 Iowa State Cyclones (10-2, 1-0 Big 12) visit Norman to battle it out with the Oklahoma Sooners (9-4, 0-1) Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET (ESPN2). Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Iowa State vs. Oklahoma odds, and make our expert college basketball picks, predictions and bets.
The Cyclones have not had many solid victories this season and wins over Villanova and North Carolina both look mediocre at best in seeing what both those teams are at this point. In the 2 best games the Cyclones have played, they were trounced by rival Iowa 75-56 and lose to UConn 71-60.
Oklahoma comes in after a hard-fought loss 70-69 to rival Texas in its last game on Saturday, but they did cover as 3.5-point underdogs. That came after a solid 71-60 win against Florida in its last non-conference game.

Iowa State at Oklahoma picks and predictions
Prediction
Iowa State 63, Oklahoma 58
Moneyline
BET IOWA STATE +135.
Oklahoma is coming off a 1-point loss to Texas in its conference opener while Iowa State is coming in after whipping Baylor 77-52. The Cyclones have started the season strong and Oklahoma should not be the favored team in this matchup. So, I will take the value with Iowa State +135 as my favorite wager.
Against the spread
PASS.
The wrong team is favored here. I would rather take the increased value of this with a moneyline wager and stay away from the spread here.
Over/Under
BET UNDER 126.5 (-105)
Iowa State this season is 3-9 to the Over in games. Oklahoma is a little better at 6-7, but neither team has the offensive fire power of the top teams in the country. This will be a low-paced game where both teams try to milk the shot clock on each possession. It might not be a fun brand of basketball. But it is effective for the Under in this game.
