A big Monday college hoops matchup sees Big 12 action between ranked teams in Oklahoma and Iowa State. Iowa State is coming off its most complete performance of the season in a 75-38 rout of Texas Tech. Oklahoma meanwhile ran its current win streak to five in row with a 68-56 blowout win over TCU at home. This will be the first of two meetings between these two powers teams this season. Last season the series was spilt with the home team taking each. This figures to be one of the best games of the Monday schedule though neither team should run away with the score. Take the points with the underdog in this situation.
Here are my keys to the game-
Cyclones'' revenge-Iowa State has lost nine of its last 10 games at Oklahoma and was ranked ninth when it took an 87-82 loss there last January. Fred Hoiberg's team has grown up after a year though and should be more seasoned for this game this time around. Iowa State is 3-1 ATS as the underdog this season and 2-2 straight up.
Oklahoma Letdown- The Sooners have been easily blowing teams out during their five game winning streak. This is a step up in class though and the team might be in the right main frame being so comfortable to take on such a high scoring explosive opponent.
X-Factor- Fred Hoiberg is 5-3 against OU as a coach.
Selection- This is a play on Iowa State. (10*)
