What to Know
The #17 Iowa State Cyclones’ homestand continues as they prepare to take on the Jackson State Tigers at 1 p.m. ET Dec. 12 at James H. Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State is out to keep their six-game home win streak alive.
Everything went the Cyclones’ way against the Iowa Hawkeyes this past Thursday as they made off with a 73-53 victory. Iowa State’s guard Izaiah Brockington did his thing and dropped a double-double on 29 points and ten rebounds.
Meanwhile, Jackson State didn’t have too much breathing room in their matchup with the Illinois State Redbirds two weeks ago, but they still walked away with a 61-55 win.
Iowa State is the favorite in this one, with an expected 18.5-point margin of victory. They are currently two-for-two against the spread in their most recent games, a trend bettors might want to take into account.
Iowa State is now a perfect 9-0 while the Tigers sit at 2-6. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: The Cyclones have been holding their opponents to a field goal percentage of 37.60%, which places them 20th in college basketball. Less enviably, Jackson State has only been able to knock down 37.30% percent of their shots, which is the 350th lowest field goal percentage in college basketball. So the cards are definitely stacked against Jackson State.
