The set-up: I think this is a great spot to pull the trigger against Texas, after it made a historic win on the road at Allen Field House, completely blowing out the Jayhawks. Iowa State beat the Longhorns last year, but it'll be focussed tonight afte rfalling to Baylor 76-65 in its last outing.

The pick: After four-straight victories, and with a game at West Virginia up next, I think the Longhorns suffer a predictable letdown here (note that they are in fact just 2-7 ATS in their last nine after a 30 points or greater SU/ATS road victory.) This is a few too many points to be giving up, the play is on the visiting side.

This is an 8* play on Iowa State.
