Iowa State vs. Oklahoma State Key Player to Watch

Joshua Jefferson, F - Iowa State Cyclones

Joshua Jefferson is second on Iowa State in scoring with 17.3 points per game, but he's also averaging 7.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.6 steals, and 1.0 blocks. He can take over a game on both sides of the court, so Oklahoma State will have to find a way to slow him down today.

Iowa State vs. Oklahoma State Prediction and Pick

Iowa State has been fantastic on both sides of the court. The Cyclones rank 11th in effective field goal percentage and sixth in defensive efficiency. Oklahoma State ranks 78th in effective field goal percentage and 125th in defensive efficiency in those two metrics.

I'm going to back the Cyclones today, but it's not just because of those two numbers. Oklahoma State struggles with turnovers, turning the ball over on 16.3% of its possessions, which ranks outside the top 150 in college basketball. Now, the Cowboys have to take on an Iowa State team that ranks fourth in opponent turnovers per possession, forcing turnovers on 22.9% of their opponent's possessions.

That's a bad recipe for Oklahoma State in this game. I'll lay the points with the Cyclones.
