Iowa Hawkeyes at Iowa State Cyclones Overview<br />
</h2>
<p>
Very simply, Iowa and Iowa State love to hate each other. The numbers get thrown out the window in rivalry games of this nature. However, Iowa State has had the more comprehensive program in recent years as this is a team that has won coveted Big 12 Championships. The Cyclones enter in exquisite form as they have won their last five overall. Most recently, the Cyclones hosted Northern Illinois in Ames three days ago and went to work on the Huskies, defeating NIU 94-80. Iowa comes in off its third consecutive loss when it fell at Indiana three days ago by a score of 77-64.

Iowa Hawkeyes at Iowa State Cyclones Prediction

We will be hard pressed to spot points in a rivalry game as potent as this one. The Hawkeyes enter in perfect position to submarine the Cyclones on their own court. The Hawkeyes are off the radar and a consensus fade in light of their recent troubles. Contrarily, the Cyclones’ stellar play has made them a captivating take for any bettor. As a result, we have a quintessential buy-low and sell-high situation materializing in front of us. With the apparent opposite directions both teams seem to be heading in, Iowa remains the more physical team on the boards averaging over three more rebounds per game than their counterparts (Iowa 36.1 RPG vs. Iowa State 32.9 RPG). In games as hard fought as this one, this is essential as it can set the tone for the entire affair. Therefore, we will take the points here.
