It has been a great week for fans and bettors of the Iowa State Cyclones.
There did not appear to be much hope for the Cyclones after Texas Tech dispatched them in the quarterfinals of the Big 12 Tournament, 72-41. But they were only 3.5-point underdogs to LSU in the first round and won 59-54. Wisconsin was favored by four points against them in the second round, but the Cyclones again won by five, 54-49.
So, it’s on to the Sweet 16 for Iowa State for a matchup with No. 10 Miami Friday night at the United Center in Chicago. Once again, Iowa sports betting apps list the Cyclones as underdogs. Considering how the first two rounds went, that could mean Iowa has the Hurricanes right where they want them.
