7:00 p.m. ET: Kansas Jayhawks (17-3) at Iowa State Cyclones (16-5)

Spread: Kansas -4.5
Total: 137

The #20 Iowa State Cyclones face the #10 Kansas Jayhawks in conference play. The Cyclones have gone 12-2 at home. Iowa State is 5th in the Big 12 scoring 69.6 points while shooting 44.9% from the field. The Jayhawks have gone 6-1 against Big 12 opponents. Kansas is second in the Big 12 with 16.2 assists per game. These teams meet for the 2nd time in conference play this season. The Jayhawks won 62-61 in the last matchup on Jan. 12. Ochai Agbaji led the Jayhawks with 22 points, and Izaiah Brockington led the Cyclones with 17 points. This number is low because Kansas was just pounded at home against the Kentucky Wildcats in an embarrassing loss which should have Bill Self and his boys ready to roll in this one. The Cyclones have dropped 4 of their last 6 conference games, including their last home game, a 59-44 loss to TCU. The Cyclones have been playing well this season but tonight we should get a motivated Kansas on the road that will look to run over Iowa State in transition. Despite Iowa State’s pressure defense, they do not have enough to contain Kansas’ offense that averages over 80 points per game. Kansas has 5 straight wins against the Cyclones and will look to keep that going tonight. Take the Jayhawks to get the road win and cover the spread.
