Golden Eagles vs Cyclones Bets Sense Something Out There

Golden Eagles vs Cyclones sense something out there. So, what could happen on Wednesday night? ESPN's matchup predictor is tilted heavily toward Iowa State at more than 67%. That is correct as Marquette gets a mere 32.9% chance of going to 9-0. Meanwhile, Iowa State is expected to go to 6-1 with an inside track back into the Top 5. Milan Momcilovic comes off a huge 24-point performance The 6-foot-8 forward has been heating up lately and Marquette may have a challenge containing him.

So, what does one do here? The Golden Eagles counter with Kameron Jones and David Joplin. Obviously, Jones is the main ticket to cause Iowa State the most trouble. Again, Iowa State is a whopping 6.5-point favorite here. This feels like a lot and that could be true. Ames, Iowa is an incredible place to play. However, Marquette is one of those

Let us attempt to figure out what to make of this Wednesday night game. Can Marquette find a path to victory or will Iowa State deliver the W?

Picking Marquette Or Iowa State?

Golden Eagles vs Cyclones bets know picking Marquette or Iowa State could be tough here. Again, both teams can be incredible running the floor. However, Keshon Gilbert is the main attacking catalyst for the Cyclones. The 16.3 points per game is one thing but the 5.3 assists per game. Marquette's Jones averages nearly 20 points a contest and can easily get around 5-7 rebounds and assists at any given time.

Now, Iowa State keeps rolling with their balance and has five players who can average double figures. The Cyclones and Golden Eagles have some considerable big man depth. Ben Gold versus Dishon Jackson could be must-watch streaming. It is fun to see teams go eight and nine players deep. Jones versus Gilbert may be the best matchup of them all, however. Both are Seniors. Both are more than capable of getting hot from the perimeter, defending, and being a matchup nightmare.

So, more and more we look at this, the more Marquette feels like they are going to at least cover. Getting that beefy depth involved could prove to be an asset during the second half especially. Jones and Joplin do have the ability to win on the road. Granted, none of this is easy to face but the Golden Eagles turned up the heat against Purdue. It was impressive. Iowa State in their big matchup collapsed against Auburn.

Alas, this game possesses the ability to go either way. When one sees a 5.5-point spread that has to be a bit daunting. Frankly, this becomes too daunting. Taking Marquette on the moneyline is intriguing at +210 and may be worth a look. However, that 5.5-point spread is still at -105 for Marquette. That could work on Wednesday night.

Golden Eagles vs Cyclones Bets Like The Under

So, Golden Eagles vs Cyclones bets like the under. The two teams both getting into the mid 70's for points feels unlikely.Both of these teams give up points in the low to mid 60's. Honestly, both squads hold their opponents to around 42% from the field. In these big games, that number could dip closer to 40%. It will be fascinating to see what happens if Marquette can get Iowa State into a bit of foul trouble.

The feeling is that both teams attempt to play aggressive but only foul about 15-16 times a game. Iowa State will not get 25 or 26 foul shots on Wednesday night. Marquette will not let that happen. This is something where it tends to see the under come out more often than not in games like this. After all, Iowa State likes to keep this game at a lower pace. Marquette would be content to do the same.

Some updated numbers wanted to move this into the 148 or even 149 realm. However, at 150.5, the number gives people the chance to bet at a game total of 150 points or fewer. Let us play that.
