Arizona State vs Iowa State Prediction
Arizona State comes into this matchup with a 2-5 conference record, but they are coming off of a nice win over West Virginia and they will be at home for this game. The Sun Devils are shooting 44.5% from the field, but they have scored 65 points or fewer in regulation in four of their last five games. Iowa State has won six of their seven conference games so far this year, but they did lose to that West Virginia team by a score of 64-57 two games ago. The Cyclones are shooting nearly 50% from the field and they are scoring 85.1 points per game. We have seen Iowa State struggle in their last two road games, but I think they are going to roll to a win over this ASU team. Take the Cyclones on the road.
