Rotation # 772
Iowa State -16.5 over Colorado (win)
After back-to-back losses at Kansas and Cincinnati, the Cyclones are back on track. Colorado is not a good road team and has not been the same since the 2023 season, which featured an unusually high level of NBA talent. The Cyclones are a forward-heavy team with Joshua Jefferson leading the squad in assists and rebounds. Milan Momcilovic is not your average big man, as he is an elite shooter from anywhere on the court, especially from beyond the three-point line. Colorado is one of the worst three-point defenses in basketball, so Momcilovic has the potential to score 25+ tonight. There is a clear talent gap between the two programs. Iowa State is a hefty favorite, but deservedly so on its home floor. The Cyclones should get out to a big lead and never look back against a defensive unit that can’t defend well. Take Iowa State.
