What to Know

The #20 Iowa State Cyclones haven't won a contest against the #10 Kansas Jayhawks since March 16 of 2019, but they'll be looking to end the drought Tuesday. The Cyclones and Kansas will face off in a Big 12 battle at 7 p.m. ET at James H. Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State should still be riding high after a victory, while the Jayhawks will be looking to regain their footing.

Iowa State strolled past the Missouri Tigers with points to spare this past Saturday, taking the game 67-50. Iowa State's guard Tyrese Hunter filled up the stat sheet, picking up 14 points.

Meanwhile, Kansas entered their matchup against the Kentucky Wildcats this past Saturday without any home losses -- but there's a first time for everything. Kansas lost to UK at home by a decisive 80-62 margin. One thing holding Kansas back was the mediocre play of forward Jalen Wilson, who did not have his best game: he finished with only eight points on 3-for-10 shooting in his 32 minutes on the court.

Iowa State is expected to lose this next one by 4.5. However, those who like betting on the underdog should be happy to hear that they are 6-2 against the spread when expected to lose.

Iowa State is now 16-5 while the Jayhawks sit at 17-3. A pair of stats to keep an eye on: The Cyclones rank 18th in college basketball when it comes to points allowed per game, with only 60.5 on average. But Kansas comes into the matchup boasting the 14th most points per game in college basketball at 80.6. These opposing strengths should make for an exciting matchup.
