What to Know
We’ve got another exciting Big 12 matchup on schedule as the Iowa State Cyclones and the Houston Cougars are set to tip at 9:00 p.m. ET on February 19th at Fertitta Center. Each of these teams will be fighting to keep a win streak alive as Iowa State comes in on four and the Cougars on three.
Even though Iowa State has not done well against the Red Raiders recently (they were 2-8 in their previous ten matchups), they didn’t let the past get in their way on Saturday. The Cyclones walked away with an 82-74 victory over the Red Raiders.
Keshon Gilbert was the offensive standout of the match as he scored 24 points along with eight rebounds and five assists. He didn’t help Iowa State’s cause all that much against the Bearcats on Tuesday but the same can’t be said for this matchup. Robert Jones was another key contributor, scoring ten points along with seven rebounds and two steals.
Meanwhile, Houston put the finishing touches on their 12th blowout victory of the season on Saturday. Everything went their way against the Longhorns as the Cougars made off with a 82-61 win.
Houston relied on the efforts of L.J. Cryer, who went 6 for 9 from beyond the arc en route to 26 points and 0 assists, and Jamal Shead, who dropped a double-double on 16 points and 11 rebounds. As a matter of fact, that’s the most points Cryer has scored all season. The team also got some help courtesy of Emanuel Sharp, who scored 15 points along with four steals.
The Cyclones’ win was their 15th straight at home, which pushed their record up to 20-5. Those good results were due in large part to their offensive dominance across that stretch, as they averaged 83.7 points per game. As for the Cougars, they have been performing incredibly well recently as they’ve won eight of their last nine contests, which provided a nice bump to their 22-3 record this season.
While fans of Iowa State and the Cougars were happy after their last outing, their bettors probably weren’t as neither team covered. Looking ahead to Monday, Houston is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 9.5 points. This contest will be their 15th straight as the favorites (so far over this stretch they are 7-7 against the spread).
Iowa State didn’t have too much breathing room in their game against the Cougars in their previous meeting back in January, but they still walked away with a 57-53 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Iowa State since the squad won’t have the home-court advantage this time around. We’ll see if the change in venue makes a difference.

Iowa Will Be Coming into Spartan Stadium Hot
As Michigan State prepares for its upcoming matchup against Iowa, the Hawkeyes’ recent victory over Washington, with a decisive score of 40-16, serves as a stark reminder of the competitiveness and unpredictability of college football.
Washington, having recently defeated Michigan, the Spartans’ next opponent following Iowa, demonstrated their prowess and potential. However, Iowa’s ability to dominate in that game indicates the challenge that Michigan State will face when it takes on both Iowa and the Wolverines back-to-back.
In order to emerge victorious against Iowa, Michigan State must effectively utilize its running backs and establish a strong ground game. The Spartans have a rich tradition of powerful running, and this season is no different.
A solid rushing attack can not only control the clock but also open up the passing game for quarterback Aidan Chiles. With Iowa’s defense showing its capability to stifle passing attacks, a commitment to the run game will be crucial in keeping the Hawkeyes off balance and creating opportunities for big plays.
Chiles, who has shown promise as a young quarterback, will need to limit mistakes and turnovers during these crucial games. Iowa’s defense is known for its opportunism, and any unforced errors could be detrimental. He must focus on making smart decisions under pressure, ensuring he doesn’t force throws into tight coverage. Additionally, maintaining composure and being decisive in Chiles’ reads will be essential as he navigates what will surely be a challenging defensive scheme.
As Michigan State looks ahead to its subsequent game against Michigan, the need for a solid performance against Iowa cannot be overstated. Establishing a rhythm on the ground will be key, allowing the Spartans to build confidence and momentum heading into the rivalry matchup. Should they succeed in this endeavor, it could set the stage for a thrilling matchup against a team that has already proven its mettle earlier in the season.
Saturday’s game against Iowa will be a litmus test for Michigan State. By leveraging its running backs and ensuring Chiles plays within himself, the Spartans can craft a game plan that not only seeks victory against the Hawkeyes but also builds a foundation for success against Michigan the week after.
The importance of this strategy cannot be overstated, as Michigan State aims to solidify its standing in a challenging schedule ahead.
