Texas Tech lost in overtime in last year's meeting, but Chris Beard's team is in a better position this year with a 15-3 record and Iowa State is just 5-9-1 ATS. The Cyclones have lost five of their last six games as they go through a rebuilding year, including a 23-point loss at TCU on Wednesday. The Horned Frogs shot 60.3 percent from the field against the weak Cyclone defense which doesn't bode well as the Red Raiders are shooting at a .481 percentage this season. Texas Tech is led by Keenan Evans, who averages 17.1 points and Zhaire Smith, who averages 10.4 points per game while shooting 59.8 percent from the field. Iowa State is 2-5-1 ATS following an ATS loss. Lay the points with Texas Tech.
