The No. 12 seed Arizona State Sun Devils face the No. 5 seed Iowa State Cyclones in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament this afternoon.

The Cyclones have been clobbering mediocre opponents all season and my Arizona State vs. Iowa State predictions expect another beatdown today.

Here are my best free college basketball picks for this conference tournament clash on Wednesday, March 10. 

Arizona State vs Iowa State prediction

Arizona State vs Iowa State best bet

Arizona State vs Iowa State best bet: Iowa State -11.5 (-110)

The Iowa State Cyclones are at No. 7 in the KenPom ratings and are significantly better on both ends of the floor than the Arizona State Sun Devils. The Cyclones beat ASU 86-65 in their regular season finale and have been winning by margin all season. 

They won 10 conference games by double-digits and had blowout non-conference victories against Purdue, Syracuse, Creighton, and Mississippi State. And the T-Mobile Center should feel like home with their fans taking over this venue in recent years. 

With the Sun Devils exhausted after holding off Baylor yesterday, ISU will run them off the floor.
