Kansas State at Iowa State

The Iowa State Cyclones were derailed in the NCAA Tournament last year by eventual Champion UConn. They are poised for a return this year, starting the season 13-3 and they have met perfection on their home court at 9-0. This team has played to a slim margin in all their recent games with none of their last five decided by more than 5 points either way. They are also coming off a huge home win vs. Kansas and may not be ready to deliver their "A" game here, especially knowing they host Texas here in six days. Kansas State has a four-game winning streak, and all four wins have come by seven points or less, and they too have delivered a lot of close games. I think the number is too high here as both of these teams have been ultra competitive over the last two-plus weeks. Take the points on Kansas State.
