    #16 iowa state at west virginia
    WVU opened as 2.5 point home dogs. Media is pumping up Ejim's 48-18 performance against a hapless TCU team. Despite losing by 14 to Kansas, Bob Huggins and his players seemed upbeat after the game. WVU has won two straight home games against Oklahoma and K-State. Both of these offenses are ranked in the Top 20. 70% of the money is on Iowa State so far.

    I like taking the home dog when I can during conference play. WVU is 14-10 (6-5 in the Big 12) while Iowa State is 18-4 (6-4 in the B12). It's safe to say that WVU is a bubble team and needs this game in the worst way. Could Iowa State be overlooking WVU after their win over TCU gained so much public attention? Will WVU build off their play against Kansas?

    Update: The line has dropped from 2.5 to 2 points.

    I like WVU and taking the two points. Early-to-mid February is when bubble teams start to play with a sense of urgency. WVU needs this game as a resume builder. Iowa State may be overlooking them.

    Wvu may very well win but there is absolutely no reason to think isu is overlooking them, cause why? Cause they whipped the worst team in the conf? Seriously doubt beating tcu has ever given anyone a big head..

    Far as "this the time of year bubble teams start to play w a sense if urgency", once again I gotta call bs. Just as many bubble teams fall flat on their face as succeed this time of yr..there a reason they on the bubble to begin with...

    Again don't necessarily think wvu a bad play if anything cause I don't trust isu 3 point dependent asses on the road but the logic seems awful flawed to me.. Doubt I play a side but will be really curious how high they willing to open this total..gl

        I really like WVU +2.5 here.

        West Virginia turned the corner in mid-January. Staten is hard to guard and their bigs can at least slow Ejim and Niang.

              WVU lives off of guard play.... Staten and Harris are money scorers, but the size of Iowa state is crazy. Their starting 5 are big and talented. That size advantage will win them this game. I'll be taking Iowa state money line, but think -2 isn't a bad line. Don't be fooled here, take the better team.

                Line down to 1.5 now despite all the money coming in on Iowa St... Looks like WV is the play.

                  If WVa line goes to +2.5 and K. State at +3.5, will do a 5-point teaser on these dogs.
                  Seems like the safe play to me that should cash, as both games are looking to be close.

                              take the chalk here WV has a quality point in staten and but they dont have the quality big that ISU has. As long as ISU stays out of foul trouble and Kane can limit Staten ISU romps here.

                                    Gotta love ISU in this spot gotta remember this is the same West Virginia team who couldn't beat Purdue at home. Iowa St is the best passing team in the country and very efficient and are on a 3 game winning streak and a win like this could propel ISU into the upper tier of the Big 12. So heres my big point on this game and what should really decipher which side you are going to be on. Do you see ISU as a team that is going to be middle pack in the Big 12 maybe getting a 7 seed...Or do you see Iowa St has a break out team come tournament time who gets a 4 seed or better. This is going to be the game that decides this. Strong play on the experienced Iowa St team. IMO they are the second best team in the conference in this is one of those games that they will look at to prove they aren't middle tier.

                                    Iowa St wins by 7

                                      Not so sure about this shayman. Iowa St. is not a proven road team. WVa playing best basketball of year and are gonna rough up the Cyclones as best they can. This game goin' down to the wire.

                                        This is the same WV team that lost to Purdue at home. It is not like this is a undefeated tough team at home. They are a little below average team imo. Iowa St is going to end up as an elite team they have won 3 in a row and after this I see a few more give me wins for them. Look for them to continue this winning streak

                                                      Hopefully Kanes last few buckets will get him into a rhythm. This is such a fluke. Iowa St is on another level talent wise compared to WVU.

                                                            This isn't a fluke, Iowa State just doesn't give a shit tonight. Iowa State is getting beat in all parts of the game tonight.

                                                            The second half will look just like the first.
