This is a revenge game for BYU as last year they lost by 21. This year, they get the Cyclones in their building where they have gone 32-6 straight up their last 38 (25 of 30 when favored) and have a long-term ATS home record of 119-84. This will be ISU's first ever trip to the Marriott Center. The Cougars are likely to get back guard Taylor Haws into the lineup after he missed the last two games w/ an abdominal strain. With or without Haws in the lineup, BYU's offense has gotten the job done this year. In racing out to a 4-0 SU start, the team is averaging 96.3 PPG on better than 50% shooting. They have already topped 100 points twice and shoot from the perimeter very well.
BYU is also catching the Cyclones in a prime letdown situation as ISU is ranked for the 1st time in two years thanks to an upset of then #7 Michigan over the weekend. That game was at home and Fred Hoiberg's team closed the game on a shocking 23-10 run in front of a packed house as now have to travel to BYU. This will be their first time playing on the road this year and I expect BYU to get the best of them.
