Iowa State vs. Oklahoma: Three things to know
- Iowa State lost every single conference game this season, although it did come within five last time out at Kansas State of erasing that goose egg. But it was a loss, and a push, nonetheless. The Cyclones were also 0-3-1 ATS across the final four outings.
- Oklahoma finished the season on a four-game slide, although it was a series of close calls. They lost by five at K-State Feb. 23, they lost by four in OT at home against Oklahoma State Feb. 27, and by four in regulation in Stillwater, Okla., March 1. They were also edged 69-65 against Texas Thursday in the regular-season finale. They haven't covered in the past five games dating back to Feb. 13 at West Virginia.
- These teams met twice in the regular season, with Oklahoma winning 66-56 in Iowa as an 11.5-point favorite Feb. 20, while the Sooners won on their home floor 79-72 Feb. 6 as 14-point favorites.

Iowa State vs. Oklahoma: Odds, lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Oklahoma 74, Iowa State 66
Money line (ML)
There is nearly zero chance Oklahoma (-750) gets tripped up against Iowa State (+525), a team that went winless in Big 12 conference play. Still, you can't risk seven-and-a-half times your potential return on a team that ended the season on a four-game skid. PASS.

Against the spread (ATS)
IOWA STATE +11.5 (-110) lost both regular-season meetings against Oklahoma -11.5 (-110), but the Cyclones covered both games. The Sooners' average margin of victory against the Cyclones was 8.5 per game, and you can expect I-State to keep it within single digits in this one, too, before they bow out of the conference tourney.
Over/Under (O/U)
The TOTAL 140.5 is too close to call. The Over/Under split in the two regular-season meetings. If there was a lean, it would be to the Under, as Iowa State has averaged just 65.3 PPG. Of course, they're allowing 76.6 PPG to rank 305th in the nation defensively. The best bet is to stay away and just focus on the spread. PASS.
