This line sticks out like a fat chick in a beauty pageant, Iowa State has not lost a game by 8 points in the B12 tournament since 2009 and is 15-0 against the number since 2013; yes- you read that correctly. Anyone from the Midwest knows the fanbase travels extremely well and tournament games are effectively home court advantage against Texas schools.

Good luck

I've heard the arena in Kansas City is called "Hilton South" due to the fan following. (Hilton is their home stadium in Ames, IA). They say there are as many ISU fans as KU fans in the arena. Seems like some kind of home court advantage for ISU (when not playing KU).

The only downside I see to ISU is sometime they just S#it the bed and don't show up with any offense (vs Okla St. at home a week ago). Other times, they can shine (Baylor game last Saturday). So which team is going to show up today????

iowa st. is awful this year, not even competitive from what i've seen. All the trends you refer to are when they had competent teams. I do appreciate the angle and insight tho. Making me 2nd guess my original heavy lean on T tech.

Now you've said that, I will have to take Texas Tech heavy.

I don't know about you, but I have this thing where I have a first lean and then as you think about it more a doubt sets in and I start to 2nd guess myself. Then, either I lay off the game or reduce the bet size.

In the end, the first lean was right all along and covers easily, and I should have stuck with what came to my head first originally.

LORDCAPPERSTEIN guaranteeing ISU +7.5 along with what I'm seeing at Vegasinsider and ScoresandOdds, Texas Tech is the side to bet.

Never mind. I looked it up on the internet.

Who cares that ISU had 9 of them. They still suck.

Who cares? The NCAA Selection Committee.
I think they can play like crap as well, at times. They have 1 offensive weapon (Brockington) and when he doesn't show up, its over.

ISU plays well at home and at the conference tourney. They will have the most fans outside of KU attending the games. That said, the line is right.
