Iowa State vs Oklahoma State College Basketball Betting Preview
Iowa State started the season on an outright tear, winning 12 straight games with two against ranked opponents. Since jumping to #8 in the polls, the Cyclones have lost five of their last seven. While five of those games were against ranked teams, two of their losses were in double figures to unranked opponents. Most recently, Iowa State lost at home to TCU by 15 points. During its losing streak, Iowa State simply hasn’t been able to put on a complete performance at both ends of the floor. Izaiah Brockington leads the way for the Cyclones averaging over 16 points per game.
Oklahoma State lost at Texas 56-51 on Saturday but won two of the last three. The Cowboys’ offense is nothing special, but their defense has stepped up lately. While they’ve given up 65 points per game this season, they’ve only given up 55 points in their last three, which is a big reason for their recent success. Although they lost to the Longhorns, the Cowboys forced 20 turnovers. With that kind of defense, the Cowboys become a problem for anyone who has to face them.

Iowa State vs Oklahoma State Prediction | College Basketball Betting Picks
To say that Iowa State has struggled offensively recently is an understatement. The Cyclones only managed 44 points against an unranked TCU team at home. They will have quite a challenge on their hands with the way Oklahoma State has defended recently. With no significant injuries on either side, it should be a pretty straightforward game.
Oklahoma State has found something on defense and there are no signs of Iowa State discovering it down the road. That said, Iowa State should see some progression on offense compared to its performance against TCU. The line seems too low even with recent results suggesting a low scoring game.
