Excellent Big 12 Game Tonight #9 Kansas @ #2 Iowa State

[Tanko]

This should be a great game. These are two elite teams and Hilton Collesium is always a tough place for visitors to win at but the spread seems a little large. These two usually play tight games.

Line opened at ISU -5.5 and has climbed to -7 on many books.

Kanas has covered 5 out of its last 6 games.
Iowa State has covered 4 out of its last 6 games.

Iowa State's only loss was by 2 to #1 Auburn on a last second bucket early in the year.

I like Kansas to cover the spread.
Fans from Iowa seem to always drive up the number. I guess farmers really support their teams in Iowa.

Kansas is overrated. You always take the home team in college basketball.

I assumed both teams are healthy, Tank? I'm seeing a few for Kansas but dated 2023.

Kind of good news for me since I got in at +7.5 on KU.
That's probably why the line tanked shortly thereafter back down to +5.
