Why Texas Will Win
Iowa State can’t buy a break.
It’s not like the team is playing all that poorly lately, but something’s amiss when you lose 14 straight.
Texas hasn’t been playing all that well and it’s struggling to score, but Iowa State keeps failing to come up with that one big rebound, that one big basket, and that one big moment to break through in the clutch.
It’s also not creating its own breaks, failing to get to the free throw line lately and not doing enough to force the action. Worst of all, the team is shooting as well as it had all year and it’s still losing. But …
Why Iowa State Will Win
The Cyclones really are shooting well – for them.
They’ve at least flirted with 50% from the field against Baylor and TCU, and they’re coming off of two of their better shooting days from three.
Texas just can’t seem to get rolling from three, struggling way too much in three of the last four games and not making up for it in a grind of a finish.
Iowa State played well in the 78-72 loss to the Longhorns back in early January, but it got destroyed on the boards. If the rebounding margin is close, the game should be, too.
What’s Going To Happen
It’s like Texas is in a funk it can’t snap out of.
It’s not like it was ripping teams apart when it started out 10-1, but it was able able to maintain control. There aren’t any awful losses to point to lately, but shooting has been a stronger and there are too many turnovers and not enough assists.
Texas will rebound from the loss to Texas Tech, but it won’t be anything pretty.
