T.M. Selection: Kansas.

I like Kansas to cover the spread against Iowa State in this game on Tuesday. Kansas just had their 5 game win streak ended when they lost in their most recent game to Kentucky by almost 20 points on their own home court. They were dominated on the floor in that game and I think they are going to be due for a bounce back after that bad loss. Luckily, that loss to Kentucky wasn't in their conference play so they are still on course to winning the Big 12 but it did hurt their rank as they were much higher than Kentucky was and I think that Kansas will be focused on a good bounce back game here on the road. Iowa State doesn't have a lot of offense either and that works well with how Kansas likes to play their game. I expect Kansas to keep Iowa State off the board with good defense here and I think they will have plenty of opportunities to extend their lead in this game. Iowa State has won 2 games in a row but both of their opposing teams in those games were not very good and they have struggled a lot in their conference play this year, losing 4/5 games before winning these previous 2. I think Iowa State is going to continue their troubles in their conference play and I think they will have a lot of trouble with a high ranked Kansas team here. I expect Kansas to respond to that loss with a big win here and get back on track. I like Kansas to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 69-61 Kansas.
