Iowa State just posted the largest margin of victory in Big 12 Tournament history. They forced 23 turnovers, led by 29 at halftime, and suffocated the Sun Devils on both ends for 40 straight minutes. That's a team that is locked in and playing with a chip on their shoulder heading into Thursday.
#16 Texas Tech is 22-9 overall, 12-6 in the Big 12, and the 4th seed in the tournament. Expect to see the Red Raiders around a 4 seed come the big dance.
Texas Tech beat Iowa State in Ames just two weeks ago, and they believe they can do it again. Christian Anderson is the key to this. He is good for nearly 19 points and 8 assist a night. With star JT Toppin sideline, he'll need a monster performance to repeat what they did in Ames.
Iowa State vs Texas Tech will be an intense game between two elite defenses. With this said, ISU is rolling and they haven't forgotten what happened in Ames two weeks ago. Coming off the largest blowout in Big 12 Tournament history and with revenge on their mind, the Cyclones are locked in. We're taking Iowa State on the moneyline.
