The Texas Longhorns are 8-1 SU against the Iowa State Cyclones at the Erwin Center under Rick Barnes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Iowa State hasn\u2019t dropped three games in a row since Fred Hoiberg\u2019s first season in Ames, as the team looks to bounce back from a 77-70 setback to the Kansas Jayhawks as 2.5-point home favorites Monday.\u00a0 The Cyclones are the only team in the Big 12 Conference with two players ranked in the top-11 of the league in both scoring and rebounding, which is important to consider when making your college basketball betting predictions.\u00a0 In conference games, senior guard DeAndre Kane is leading the league in points, assists and steals.\u00a0 Iowa State is 1-2 SUATS as road favorites of three or fewer points the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Cyclones shot a season-low 31.4 percent from the field against the Jayhawks, including just 4-of-25 from 3-point range, which can\u2019t be ignored when looking over the college basketball betting lines.\u00a0 Through 16 games this season, Iowa State has 295 assists and just 156 turnovers, which is the fewest among conference members.\u00a0 Offensively, the team ranks 10th nationally in averaging 85.6 points per game\u2014scoring 85 or more points in seven affairs this season.<\/p>\n

Texas enters Saturday\u2019s contest with an 8-1 record against Iowa State in the friendly confines of the Erwin Center during the Rick Barnes era.\u00a0 The Longhorns have improved on the free throw line in their first four league contests, as they\u2019ve converted 74.7 percent of their attempts.\u00a0 The team has four of five probable starters scoring in double figures, with forward Jonathan Holmes averaging a team-high 12.5 points a game.\u00a0 Texas is 3-1 SUATS as home underdogs of three or fewer points since the start of the 2011-12 campaign.<\/p>\n

The Longhorns own a 30-18 SU record against ranked opponents under Barnes at this venue.\u00a0 Texas has out-rebounded 14 of its first 17 opponents this season, which has led directly to a +8.1 margin in that statistical category.\u00a0 All 10 of the team\u2019s scholarship players have scored 10 or more points in a game this season.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Cyclones due to their 12-5 ATS mark following a SU loss.<\/p>\n
