Iowa State at Kansas State

Clash of styles here as Kansas State is all about a powerful defense while Iowa State is about uptempo with little thought to defense. Despite 22 wins that lack of defense has hurt Iowa State on the road, getting beat by 25 at West Virginia, a 92-81 loss at Kansas and an 86-76 loss at Texas. The Cyclones are on a 3-10 ATS run and 1-5 ATS in their last six road games. Kansas State is 14-1 at home, second in the Big 12 in scoring defense and No. 1 in field goal defense (.408%) and at defending the three-pointer allowing .303% shooting.  Iowa State loves the three, so this is a tough matchup for the visitors. Kansas State is on a 13-6 ATS run and the Wildcats are 23-6-1 ATS in their last 30 home games vs. a team with a winning road record. And when these Big 12 rivals meet the home team is 9-4-1 ATS in the last 14 meetings. Play Kansas State.
