West Virginia at Iowa State

Iowa State likes to run, but West Virginia is about a pressing defense and slowing the pace down. West Virginia leads the nation in steals (290), steals per game (12.1), and turnover margin (8.8). The UNDER is 7-3 in the Mountaineers last 10 road games, plus 5-0 UNDER the total following a win. West Virginia has more forced turnovers (517) than its opponents have field goals made (514), and has allowed its opponent to shoot 50 percent or better only 42 times under Bob Huggins (265 games). They will need to play tough, pressing defense against an Iowa State team that has won 20 in a row at Hilton Coliseum, including 13 straight against Big 12 foes dating back to last year. These teams met last month, and it went UNDER the total in a 74-72 Iowa State win as West Virginia shot 33%, while Iowa State was only 6-of-17 from long range. Play this one UNDER the total.
