9PM: Iowa State vs Kansas Over 147 (3 Units).

Both teams are stronger defensively than they are offensively, but they move with pace. Iowa State's 76th in Adjusted Tempo and Kansas is 95th. These two are also tied 91st in turnovers per game at 11.1. The Cyclones have really struggled in that department of late, averaging 16 per game over their last 3. Iowa State's still forcing turnovers, ranking 10th in opponent turnovers per game on the season. Bit of sloppiness generates more possessions, transition opportunities, and fouls. These are still elite offensive teams, ranking 16th and 38th in FG% and 17th and 34th in Offensive Rating. Both teams are going to play hard with their backs up against it of late. Iowa State's lost 2 straight and 3 of their last 5 and Kansas is 3-3 over their last 6, coming off a rough loss to Baylor on Saturday. Don't see a conservative defensive effort by either squad.
