Baylor vs Iowa State Betting Prediction

The Bears are performing well, but they haven't performed as well away from home. They have had trouble scoring recently, averaging less than 70 points per game over their last three games. The Cyclones, who average more than 11 steals per game at home, will be a challenge for them because of their poor ball handling, which has been a problem for them on the road.

However, their rebounding has been strong and will keep them in the game. Expect the Cyclones to limit Baylor's attack as they average under 50 points against home opponents. Take the Cyclones to cover the spread in this one.

Pick: ISU Cyclones +2 (-110)
