Amid their toughest stretch of competition all season, the fourth-ranked Iowa State Cyclones meet their lone unranked opponent on this six-pack of games when they visit the Utah Utes tonight.
The Utes are dead last in the Big 12 and hefty 12.5-point underdogs, but my Iowa State vs. Utah predictions and college basketball picks have the home team staying within range on Tuesday, February 24.
Iowa State vs Utah prediction
Iowa State vs Utah best bet: Utah +12.5 (-110)
After topping No. 9 Kansas and No. 2 Houston, the Iowa State Cyclones fell to No. 23 BYU, 79-69.
There’s little chance they lose to the Utah Utes, but top teams haven’t really demolished the last-place team in the conference.
Utah might have just two wins in its last 10, but it’s been a solid bet, going 7-3-0 against the spread.
Since failing to cover vs. Arizona on January 3, the Utes are 5-0 ATS vs. ranked teams, all as double-digit underdogs.
The Cyclones are just .500 on the road, and have gone 2-4 ATS away from home in their last six.

Milan Momcilovic’s line is 16.5 points, a number he’s gone Under in three of the last four. But he should be motivated against Utah. Last year, he produced a season-low two points on 1-for-5 shooting against the Utes.
