Betting on the TCU Horned Frogs
- Regular Season Record: 17-8
The Horned Frogs are looking to stop their skid. They are on a three-game winless streak after getting victimized last Saturday at home by the Baylor Bears, 72-68. While that game was close, TCU still failed to cover the spread, thus also going 0-3 ATS in its last three outings. Nevertheless, TCU can’t be taken lightly by the Cyclones.
For one, the Horned Frogs barely lost to Iowa State in these teams’ first meeting this season back in January when the latter scored a 69-67 win in Fort Worth. The Horned Frogs are 50th in the nation with an average of 76.2 points per game and third in the Big 12 with an adjusted defensive efficiency of 100.2.
TCU is 5-5 ATS in its last 10 outings.
Betting on the Iowa State Cyclones
- Regular Season Record: 16-8
Iowa State is also not doing fine at the moment, having lost both of its last two outings. The Cyclones tasted a 76-71 defeat and a 64-56 loss at the hands of the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Oklahoma State Cowboys, respectively. Even though they are on a slump, the Cyclones still own a winning 7-5 record in Big 12 play.
The last time they won was against the defending national champions on Feb. 4 when they brought down the Kansas Jayhawks at home, 68-53. The Cyclones have a stout defense that is allowing only 91.3 points per 100 possessions adjusted and 61.8 points per game. While they allowed TCU to shoot 50% from the field in the first meeting, they forced the Horned Frogs to commit 18 turnovers. Iowa State is No. 1 in the nation with a 23.3% defensive turnover rate (per play).
JefeBet Prediction
Iowa State’s defense slows down TCU, who commits numerous turnovers again.
Prediction: Iowa State covers.
