Iowa State vs. Texas Betting Prediction
The Iowa State Cyclones were able to defeat the Texas Longhorns by a score of 78-67 when the two teams met just over a month ago. The Longhorns have been a much better team at home, however, as they are 13-1 at the Moody Center this season. Meanwhile, the Cyclones are 4-8 on the road this season. Look for Texas to take advantage of a poor road team as they win by at least eight points.
