Iowa State Cyclones, coming off a solid season with a 16-2 straight-up record and a home record of 13-0, are favored by 14 points according to the latest betting trends. The Knights, with a 14-3 record and a 2-1 away record, are looking to challenge the Cyclones in this regular-season game broadcasted on CBS Sports Network.
Both teams showcase strong offensive capabilities but differ in key statistical areas. The Cyclones boast a higher points per game average at 85.6 compared to the Knights’ 85.2, with a superior field goal percentage of 50.6% versus 48.4%. Iowa State also excels in three-point shooting with a 40.4% success rate compared to UCF’s 37.4%. Defensively, the Cyclones maintain a lower defensive rating of 94.0, indicating stronger defense than the Knights’ 106.1.
Starting lineups are expected to feature key players from both sides, with no major injuries reported that should impact the game significantly. Iowa State’s offensive rhythm and defensive solidity are crucial betting insights, especially with a total points over/under set at 156. The Knights’ resilience and ability to cover spreads in away games make this a compelling betting opportunity.
Considering the 14-point spread favoring Iowa State and the total points line, bettors should weigh these betting trends alongside recent performances. For example, in their last matchup on February 11, 2025, Iowa State triumphed over UCF 77-65, a game that went under the total points line. The Cyclones’ home advantage and statistical edge make them a strong candidate to cover the spread this time as well. For more detailed betting advice, check out our BetOnline sportsbook review.
