Cyclones Look to Spoil Rival's Senior Night

Iowa State is currently 24–5 overall and 11–5 in the conference. They are considered one of the top teams in the nation, and if they end up spoiling Arizona’s last home game, they’ll definitely increase their March Madness odds. They come out swinging with their top-10 defense and hot shooting from Milan Momcilovic.

Aside from Momcilovic, they’ll need a big game from Joshua Jefferson and Tamin Lipsey, two crucial players for the Cyclones. Iowa State has lost two of its last three games.

Wildcats Look to Clinch Big 12 Crown

Arizona will be celebrating Senior Night when they host the Cyclones tonight. They are 27–2 overall and lead the Big 12 with a 14–2 record. A win tonight will most likely clinch the conference title, as they look to hold off Houston and Texas Tech for the crown.

The Wildcats are on a four-game winning streak, fueled by strong play from Brayden Burries, Jaden Bradley, and Tobe Awaka. Against their rivals, they’ll be looking to use their depth and size to pressure the perimeter and clean up the glass.

#6 Iowa State versus #2 Arizona NCAAB Pick

Arizona will be favorites at home with a -7.5 spread and a 149.5 over/under. The moneyline has the Wildcats at -310 and Iowa State at +250. Iowa State beat them the last time around, so that could work in the Cyclones’ favor.

We believe Arizona is #2 in the nation for a reason, and they’ll be eager to improve their March Madness outlook tonight against Iowa State. Our take is Arizona -7.5 on the spread.
