TCU Horned Frogs at Iowa State Cyclones Prediction

TCU comes into this game sizzling hot destroying Oklahoma by 19 in the Big 12 tourney opening round by 19 and a huge upset over Kansas in their latest. They’ve beaten the Cyclones before and are now a perfect 4-0 on neutral courts. Here’s a key stat - The Horned Frogs are allowing opponents just 28.8 shooting from 3-point land and a repeat of anything near that number could lead TCU to victory. But we don’t need them to win to get the money. The point spread for this game gives us a little wiggle room making this a real solid value play.
