TCU is coming into this game as a 6.5 point underdog with the current betting odds according to Draftkings Sportsbook. TCU has been playing very well in their recent games, they have won 2 of their last 3 games and they are coming off of a loss by 1 point on the road in their last game. ISU has been playing very well recently and have been very good on defense in their games but they have not been winning games by a lot even when they are at home. ISU plays defense well so they will try to win the game using their defense but TCU has been keeping close in all of their games recently so they will hang tough this entire game. The best bet to place in this game is on TCU to cover the spread here.

“We defended. We rebounded just enough. We forced the 20 turnovers, which we talked about doing. We found a way. A lot of mistakes down the stretch, but a lot of good plays, too.” Jamie Dixon on his team’s ability to grind out close wins this season.

 

 

"Felt like we were a step slow defensively. We weren't quite as physical on the basketball. I felt like tonight we got hit first in every area, and were back on our heels, a step slow and behind the play, and gave them a great advantage in a lot of areas." - T.J. Otzelberger on his team’s loss against Texas Tech.
