Iowa State vs Kansas Preview
This Iowa State vs Kansas college basketball game should be a good one, as two of the better teams in the Big 12 face off. Still, the Cyclones are undoubtedly the underdogs in this game.
Iowa State is coming off a poor performance, losing to Oklahoma by 13 points. While they were competitive most of the game, they were out-scored 36-13 to end the night. The loss has led some to question how good the Cyclones truly are. However, this team’s best basketball is likely still ahead for them, as the top six players in terms of minutes are new to the team this season. In other words, there will be growing pains, though they clearly have the talent.

Iowa State vs Kansas Prediction | College Basketball Picks
The health of Martin, as mentioned above, is a big deal in this matchup. If the Jayhawks think they can rest or limit him and coast, then we could see an upset in this Iowa State vs Kansas basketball game. The Cyclones are not a team that can be taken lightly.
However, Kansas is clearly the more talented team from top to bottom. While both schools are coming off of a loss, it’s the Jayhawks who will likely come out with an attitude and something to prove, especially playing in front of their home fans. They should be able to win this game, though 12.5 points is a lot to cover.
