If I lose this game I will take a few days off. It is a big play for me.
Iowa State +2
Oklahoma State worked extremely hard to come from behind from an early deficit against Baylor, and then to keep it close until the end. They did a very good job in that game, and I am giving them credit for that. However, with road games at Kansas and Missouri ahead, this is a perfect flat spot for Oklahoma State. I would go against much better teams than 11-12 Oklahoma State if they were in this same spot. Iowa State won or at least covered last 7 and 14 of last 15 games. They are 9-1 ATS in last 10 as Big XII underdogs. They are playing very good basketball without getting any credit at all. Their non covering win against Okie State earlier this season came in a very bad spot, after playing two close games against Kansas and Missouri. I expect Iowa State to show us today how much better they really are than Oklahoma State.
