Iowa State is clinging to its spot in the AP Top 25, sitting in 25th heading into tonight’s game against unranked Oklahoma.
Iowa State is on a three-game hitting streak and will look to improve its position to 2-0 in the Big 12, while Oklahoma looks for its first conference win after losing 70-69 to the Texas Longhorns the day before New Year’s.
We’ll dive into the odds for tonight’s game, then I’ll give you my prediction between Iowa State and Oklahoma.
Iowa State vs. Oklahoma – odds, spreads and total
Iowa State vs Oklahoma – prediction and players pick
Iowa State is one of those teams where you have to be very careful whether they play at home or on the road.
The Cyclones’ home completion percentage is 54.4%, but drops to 47.7% on the road. That’s a 6.7% difference, which will play a huge role when they face one of the best shooting teams in the nation, Oklahoma.
Oklahoma is sixth in field goal percentage at 57.3%, nearly 10% higher than the Cyclones on the road.
This game takes place on the Oklahoma home turf, the Sooners are the bet to make.
Iowa State has also had foul trouble several times this season, ranking 299th in possession fouls. He might not be a problem against weaker teams, but it will cost him dearly against Big 12 opponents like Oklahoma.
Even if Iowa State has a better record, I’ll give the points to Oklahoma.
