PREDICTION THAT WILL BE WRONG

This is obviously a different West Virginia team than the one that narrowly escaped the Cyclones at home back on December 18th. Bob Huggins has been able to space his guys out on offense after the departure of Oscar Tshiebwe, creating new looks for his shooters and opportunities for Derek Culver inside.

Meanwhile, the Cyclones just seem to be getting worse.

There will be no Hilton magic tonight in Ames, as the Miles McBride turns in a fantastic performance and the Mountaineers roll.

West Virginia 75, Iowa State 60
