Iowa State basketball is hoping to continue its best start and longest win streak in program history when it travels to Kansas for an 8 p.m. CT game Tuesday, Jan. 13 (ESPN).
The Cyclones (16-0, 3-0 Big 12) haven’t won in Lawrence since 2017, but they’re favored by 3.5 points (as of Monday afternoon) this time around. Kansas is 11-5 and 1-2 in the league.
Here’s our prediction for Tuesday’s Big 12 contest.
Iowa State basketball vs Kansas prediction
According to Vegas oddsmakers (as of Monday afternoon), Iowa State is favored by about 3 points heading into the Phog. If Kansas wasn’t motivated enough after its recent downturn, hosting the No. 2-ranked Cyclones should certainly provide added juice. Although the last couple of decades haven’t been kind to Iowa State when it goes to Lawrence, the Cyclones’ continued second-half ability to close games this season will be a difference-maker. Prediction: Iowa State 75, Kansas 72
