Kansas vs Iowa State Prediction, Picks & Odds for Today’s College Basketball Game

The No. 9 Kansas Jayhawks head to the Hilton Coliseum to face the No. 5 Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday afternoon.

The Cyclones struggled at the Phog last month, but my Kansas vs. Iowa State predictions expect a better performance from them and two-time All-Big 12 guard Tamin Lipsey today.

Here are my college basketball picks for this marquee matchup on February 14.

Kansas vs Iowa State prediction

Kansas vs Iowa State best bet: Tamin Lipsey Over 4.5 assists (-155)

Senior point guard Tamin Lipsey is the straw that stirs the drink for the Iowa State Cyclones. He averages a team-high 5.4 apg and has logged at least five assists in 15 of 21 contests this season.

Lipsey dropped five dimes when he faced the Kansas Jayhawks last month, despite ISU scoring just 63 points. The Cyclones missed plenty of open looks in that game, with ShotQualityBets projecting 82 points for them.

With ISU boasting an incredible 61.4 eFG% at home, compared to 54.8% on the road, expect more efficient shooting from them and more assists for Lipsey today.

Kansas vs Iowa State same-game parlay

Kansas is fresh off a home win against No. 1 Arizona, making this a letdown spot against ISU, which is 13-0 at home. There’s also the revenge angle for the Cyclones, who lost by 21 points in Lawrence on January 13

I love the Cyclones on the moneyline, but I’m not convinced they win by more than two possessions. After all, Kanas upset previously unbeaten Arizona without superstar guard Darryn Peterson, who returns to the lineup today.

Kansas also previously played well in a letdown spot, beating No. 16 Texas Tech on the road two days after a huge win against BYU.

Backing ISU on the moneyline and taking KU with the points creates a nice multiplier for this parlay.
