Iowa State Cyclones vs St. John's Red Storm: Prediction

The under is 5-0 in the Cyclones' last 5 games against a team that has a winning record. They are 6-0 under in their last six home games and also 10-1 in their last eleven games overall.

Both Iowa and St. John's are having a fantastic season overall and the competition looks tight. However, Iowa State's defense is strong enough not to be penetrated so easily. Expect a close contest.
