ISU/KSU play w/writeup

[EliteSports]

Kansas St. at Iowa St. 2/15
Play on Iowa St. minus the points (-8)

Five straight wins and covers may not get us much value, but there is no doubt that this Cyclone squad is clicking on all cylinders. They are led by one of the nation's best backcourts in underrated sophomores Curtis Stinson and Will Blalock. Also underrated is the Hilton Coliseum, in Ames Iowa. Since 2000, Iowa St is an excellent 59-12 in all home games. They are 26-17 their last 43 as a HF, and have covered 9 out of the last 11 with conference revenge, a scenario they find themselves in today. We so no reason for the hot streak to end today as they are the superior team facing a Wildcat team that may be a bit down after narrow upset miss at Texas which followed 3 straight non-competitive losses at Oklahoma St. and at home to Kansas and Colorado. ISU on the other hand has defeated league leaders Oklahoma, Texas, and Texas Tech during the recent winning streak. Think these two teams are showing their true colors as of late, and the revenge motive will keep the Cyclones from letting down. Lay the points with red-hot ISU.

at about 5 different sportbooks...GL

IOWA STATE - *Guard Will Blalock (ankle) is questionable for Tuesday's game against Kansas State. Forward Robert Faulkner (academics) and guard Anthony Davis (shoulder) are expected to miss the remainder of the season. Center Reggie George (suspension) has been dismissed from the team.

Thanks...

Damn, Covers doesn't have anything and checked the local paper. That would most likely keep me off of the game at this price.

Please post if anyone finds out anything on Blalock.

I work with a guy who has season tix to ISU games and he didn't say anything about Blalock. Trust me, all he talks about is Cy hoops. Also, nothing in the local paper or Des Moines Register today. As far as I know he is a go. A lot of talk of revenge and every game is a must win for ISU now. Still an outside shot at the NCAA tourney.

 

[EliteSports]

I think they have a VERY good shot at the tourney...

Still have to go to A&M, Colorado, and KU. 2 out of 3 on the road and they are in. They shouldn't lose at home again.

Thanks for the help, Phil...

Nice Win!
