| CBB | (819) Iowa State at (820) BYU: Spread | 10:30pm EST - Feb 21/2026 |
The PLAY: BYU +3.5 (-110)
Off b2b wins over top 10 opponents, the Cyclones figure to be ripe for a letdown on Saturday night. Keep in mind that those wins over Houston and Kansas both came at home, where the Cyclones are a perfect 15-0. They're mediocre (4-3) on the road though; their last away game resulted in a 7-point loss at TCU. The Cougars are tough (10-2) at home. They've beaten Iowa State each of the last two h2h meetings. I like their chances of pulling off the upset.
