ISU is coming into this game with a 16-5 record overall and they are 12-2 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. This will be the 9th conference matchup on their schedule this year and they are currently 3-5 in their conference games this season. Their last loss was against the TCU Horned Frogs but they have gone on a 2 game winning streak since then with wins coming against the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Missouri Tigers in their last game. Izaiah Brockington led the team in points in that game with 15 while Tyrese Hunter was next on the team with 14 points.

Their offense is averaging 69.6 PPG and their defense is allowing their opponents to average 60.5 PPG against them. ISU has an ATS record of 13-8 this season and their O/U record is 9-12.

 

Kansas is coming into this game as a 3.5 point favorite with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. Kansas has been playing well recently but they are coming off of a bad loss at home in their last game to a good Kentucky team. They will be looking to bounce back with a win here and they are going up against an ISU team that has won 2 straight but have been struggling against conference opponents who are much better than they are. Their last 2 wins were not against very good teams and they will be going against a Kansas team that will be angry and hungry for a win. The best bet to place in this game is on Kansas to cover the spread here.

“That was a great basketball team we played tonight. We weren’t very good at all. But I’m not sure how good we could be to keep them from being that great — they were terrific. That team that we played tonight could win it all.” - Bill Self on his team’s loss against Kentucky.

 

 

“We really talk about making effort-based plays where we’re diving for loose balls, we’re getting on the floor. The game rewards you when you do that.” - T.J. Otzelberger on his team’s win against Missouri.
