Oklahoma State is smoking. The Cowboys roped it another win last Wednesday, victimizing the Texas Tech Red Raiders in Stillwater in a 71-68 victory. That is the fourth straight win for the Cowboys, who are now 6-5 in Big 12 play. It’s been an impressive turnaround in the conference action by Oklahoma State, which lost four of its first five games this season against league rivals.
And the Cowboys have also defeated Iowa State this season, downing the Cyclones at home on Jan. 21, 61-59. Defense matters so much for Oklahoma State and it showed in that win over the Cyclones, who shot just 39.7 FG% versus the Cowboys.
Oklahoma State, which is No. 1 in the Big 12 with an opponents’ 46.1 eFG%, is 3-1 ATS in its last four games.
Betting on the Iowa State Cyclones
- Regular Season Record: 16-7

Although the Cyclones are coming off a 76-71 road loss in Morgantown to the West Virginia Mountaineers on Wednesday and are just 1-3 straight up in their last four games, they are at least 6-2 SU this season against AP Top 25 teams, so far this season.
Moreover, all losses of Iowa State this season have been on a road. The Cyclones are an immaculate 12-0 SU in games played in Ames. Behind an extremely slow pace, the Cyclones limit opponents to only 61.7 points per game and 91.3 points per 100 possession adjusted.
