South Dakota State vs Iowa State Prediction
Iowa State turned plenty of heads in the Big 12 championship by routing top-seed Houston, 69-41 as 5.5-point underdogs.
The Cyclones are the 2nd seed in the East region, but don't get much of a home-court advantage in Omaha as they face Summit League champion South Dakota State.
Iowa State owned the best defense efficiency ranking in the country, while holding Kansas State, Baylor, and Houston to 62 points or fewer in the Big 12 tournament.
The Jackrabbits will fire away as they rank 50th in the country in 3-point shooting at 36.2%, as South Dakota State is listed in its highest underdog spot of the season.
The expectations are high for Iowa State off the Big 12 tournament title as this is only the second time the Cyclones are a favorite in the Big Dance since 2021.
Pick: South Dakota State +16.5 (-110)
