Oklahoma vs Iowa State Over/Under Pick: Under 136½

Iowa State and Oklahoma cashed in on the under the first time they matched up, combining for 134 points, and they should do so the second time around.

The Sooners and Cyclones boast a pair of top defenses, with Iowa State ranking eighth in the nation allowing 62.9 points a game. Iowa State has allowed 65.8 points a game in its last five games, turning teams over 17 times a game in that time.

That defense should make things tough for the Sooners, who have had some tough times on the road, averaging 69.6 points a game in their last three and getting turned over 11.7 times a game in that time while averaging 71.4 points a game in their last five.

However, Oklahoma’s defense should keep it in it, as it ranks fourth in the Big 12 holding teams to 67.2 points a game this season. With the Sooners the only other top-three defense Iowa State has faced in the Big 12 this year, struggling against Houston previously, its offense may be slowed by Oklahoma once again.

Oklahoma vs Iowa State Player Prop Pick: Curtis Jones Over 1½ 3-Point Field Goals Made (-186)

Jones is making his case for a Sixth Man of the Year nomination with the way he has been playing down the stretch coming off the bench, and his shooting is one of those key ways. Jones has averaged 10.3 points a game this season, reaching double digits in all of his last 10 games, and his 3-point shooting has been a crucial factor in Iowa State’s scoring runs.

Jones shoots 34.3% from beyond the arc and has made at least two 3-pointers in his last five games. He has been even more comfortable at home, shooting 34.7% from three, while he went 1-for-2 in his Big 12 opener against Oklahoma.

Jones is the best pick for a player prop bet tonight.
