\"The<\/a>
The Oklahoma Sooners rely heavily on their starting five<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iowa Sate is one of just five unbeaten teams remaining in the nation, as its 14-game winning streak is the longest in school history.\u00a0 The Cyclones rank first nationally in assist-to-turnover ration, while having three players averaging at least 15 points per game, which can\u2019t be ignored when making your college basketball predictions.\u00a0 Senior forward Melvin Ejim is the main player to watch, as he\u2019s scoring 17.8 points and grabbing 7.2 rebounds per game.\u00a0 Iowa State is 13-6 SU and 14-5 ATS in January the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Cyclones have won 16 of 17 games when scoring 90-plus points under head coach Fred Hoiberg, while they\u2019ve shot better than opponents in 12 of 14 games during the 2013-14 campaign.\u00a0 Iowa State is averaging 17.5 made free throws per game, while its opponents are attempting just 15.8, which is important to consider when looking over the NCAA basketball lines Saturday.\u00a0 The program is 4-2 in this series under Hoiberg\u2019s direction, including wins in two of three meetings a season ago.<\/p>\n

Oklahoma has alternated wins and losses over its last four games, as it attempts to bounce back from a 90-83 defeat to the Kansas Jayhawks as six-point home underdogs, while going OVER the betting total for the fifth time in six affairs.\u00a0 The Sooners have all five probable starters averaging double figures, with the group providing over 78 percent of the team\u2019s scoring.\u00a0 Senior forward Cameron Clark is averaging 18.7 points in 28.6 minutes of action per game.\u00a0 Oklahoma is 1-1 SUATS as a home underdog of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Sooners have won 22 of their last 26 games against the Cyclones at the Lloyd Noble Center, including eight of the last nine.\u00a0 Oklahoma is the only Big 12 Conference program to start the same lineup in every game this season, as that group continues to get better on the glass.\u00a0 The team was out-rebounded by an average of 0.7 boards per contest in its first eight games, but has won that category by 6.3 since.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Sooners due to their 5-2 ATS mark following a SU loss in their last seven opportunities.<\/p>\n
