Place Your Bets: Iowa State at Oklahoma State (Feb. 14)

Iowa State (13-11, 2-7) at Oklahoma State (14-9, 3-6)

Sat. Feb. 14 at 4:00 P.M. EST

Spread: Oklahoma State -11

Backcourt Advantage: Oklahoma State

This game will be a classic inside versus outside. The Cowboys will be playing four or five guards against the Cyclones, while Iowa State will look to get into their half-court set and work for easy buckets inside. If the threes are falling for the Cowboys, it will be lights out for the Cyclones, but if not, the Cowboys will be in trouble.

Frontcourt Advantage: Iowa State

6'10" sophomore Craig Brackins (19.4 PPG, 9.1 RPG) is licking his chops heading into Stillwater for a matchup against the undersized Cowboys. Brackins will be dominant inside as Oklahoma State doesn't have anyone to match up with him. The Cyclones will need to keep feeding him the rock inside if they want to keep pace with the Cowboys, who will look to make this a three-point shooting contest.

Momentum: Even

Both teams were involved in lopsided results in their games earlier in the week. Iowa State beat Colorado 70-42, led by Brackins' 26 points and 10 rebounds. Oklahoma State, on the other hand, was scorched by Texas 99-74, hitting only 7-of-19 from behind the arc. Look for Oklahoma State to find its stroke at home against a lesser Iowa State team, but the Cyclones should keep it to single-digits.
