The Missouri Tigers will look to bounce back from their first loss of the 2011-12 season<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Missouri looks to rebound from its first loss of the season, dropping a 75-59 decision to the Kansas State Wildcats as one-point road favorites.\u00a0 The Tigers managed to shoot just 32.7 percent from the floor and committed 14 turnovers.\u00a0 \u201cA lot of it we feel that it was stuff we did,\u201d commented Tigers senior guard Marcus Denmon.\u00a0 \u201cIt is something that we are going to have to work on.\u201d\u00a0 The program has won the last seven meetings in this particular series, including three in a row in Ames.\u00a0 Missouri is 4-3 ATS as a road favorite of 3.5 to 6 points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Tigers currently rank second nationally in field goal percentage, shooting 51 percent from the floor, while also being second in outscoring opponents by 22.5 points per game on average.\u00a0 Denmon leads all Big 12 Conference players in averaging 18.7 points per game.\u00a0 Sixth man Michael Dixon supplies the squad energy off the bench, combining with fellow point guard Phil Pressey to combine for 21.8 points and 8.9 assists per game.<\/p>\n

Iowa State is 2-0 in Big 12 play for just the fifth time in school history and will be looking to start 3-0 for only the second time.\u00a0 The Cyclones have been outscored by an average of 14.4 points during their seven-game losing streak versus the Tigers.\u00a0 The team has won seven games in a row and head coach Fred Hoiberg knows his squad is focused on earning a spot in the NCAA tournament.\u00a0 \u201cIt was a very business-like approach going into that Texas game, and then we followed that up here,\u201d stated Hoiberg after beating Texas A&M on the road.\u00a0 Iowa State is 20-15 ATS versus conference foes the last two-plus years.<\/p>\n

The Cyclones have definitely ended some losing streaks in the past seven days, snapping a seven and eight-game skid against the Longhorns and Aggies respectively.\u00a0 Iowa State has four players averaging in double figures, with sophomore forward Royce White leading the way in scoring 12.9 points per game.\u00a0 He just tallied his first triple-double last Saturday.<\/p>\n

Bettors will likely back the Cyclones due to the underdog being 15-7-1 ATS in the last 23 meetings, while the Tigers are 0-3-1 ATS following a straight-up loss.<\/p>\n
