Colorado @ Iowa State
February 18 | 8:00pm ET | Hilton Coliseum
Grade A+: Iowa State Moneyline (-3000)
The Iowa State Cyclones, boasting a formidable 17-4 overall record and an impressive 7-3 in Big 12 play, are set to host the Colorado Buffaloes, who have yet to secure a conference win this season. The Cyclones' balanced attack, led by Keshon Gilbert's 16.5 points per game and Joshua Jefferson's dominance on the boards with 8.4 rebounds per game, has been a cornerstone of their success. In contrast, the Buffaloes have struggled offensively, averaging 70.7 points per game while allowing 72 points to opponents. Given Iowa State's home-court advantage and Colorado's ongoing difficulties, the moneyline odds favor Iowa State at -3000, making them the clear choice for this matchup. This prediction earns a grade of A+, reflecting its high likelihood of accuracy, though the monetary return is modest due to the heavy favoritism.
