What to Know

Get ready for a Big 12 battle as the #25 Iowa State Cyclones and the #17 TCU Horned Frogs will face off at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Ed & Rae Schollmaier Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with TCU winning the first 59-44 on the road and the Cyclones taking the second 54-51.

Iowa State came out on top in a nail-biter against the Oklahoma Sooners on Wednesday, sneaking past 63-60. Iowa State's guard Caleb Grill looked sharp as he shot 5-for-9 from beyond the arc and finished with 20 points.

Speaking of close games: TCU skirted by the Baylor Bears 88-87 on Wednesday thanks to a clutch half-court bomb from forward Chuck O'Bannon Jr. with 0:04 remaining. TCU's guard Mike Miles Jr. did his thing and had 33 points.

The Cyclones are expected to lose this next one by 6. They might be worth taking a chance on against the spread, however, as they are currently on a two-game streak of ATS wins.

The wins brought Iowa State up to 11-2 and the Horned Frogs to 13-1. Two numbers to keep in mind before tip-off: Iowa State ranks third in college basketball when it comes to takeaways, with 20.2 on average. TCU is not quite as good, but they are no chumps, either: they come into the contest boasting the 18th most takeaways per game in college basketball at 17.5.
