T.M. Selection: West Virginia - ML

I like the West Virginia Mountaineers to win this game against the Iowa State Cyclones on Wednesday. I'm not the biggest fan of the Cyclones this season. Although they just beat Kansas, ISU is just 2-5 on the road this season. This is a very difficult conference to win on the road and WVU is capable of beating anybody when they get hot. West Virginia has a guy in the name of Erik Stevenson, a dominant guard who's averaging 24.0 ppg in their last three games w/ two 30+pt games. He'll be a problem for a Cyclone defense that's given up 78+ in b2b road games. Even with the worse record, the Mountaineers are ranked five spots ahead of the Cyclones in the “KenPom Rankings.” Expect home court advantage to seal the victory for WVU here in this one.

T.M. Prediction: 76-68 WVU.

Line: -140

Line Parameter: play until -180..
