Illinois vs Iowa State Picks & Prediction
A fantastic matchup wraps up the night in the East region in Boston as 2nd-seeded Iowa State hooks up with 3rd-seeded Illinois.
The Cyclones haven't skipped a beat since routing Houston to capture the Big 12 championship earlier this month.
ISU took care of South Dakota State and Washington State by double-digits apiece, extending the Cyclones' hot streak to five games.
Illinois captured the Big 10 tournament title and didn't let up in consecutive routs of Morehead State and Duquesne.
Granted, the Fighting Illini faced two teams that were seeded 14th and 11th, but Illinois easily cashed as double-digit favorites each time.
Terrence Shannon, Jr. has put in one of the best scoring tears in the country as the Illinois guard is averaging 32.5 points per game the last four contests.
The Illini have been a solid underdog this season at 4-1-1 ATS, but Illinois has been knocked out the last two seasons in the tournament in the 'dog role.
Iowa State has limited eight of its last nine opponents to 33% shooting or worse from 3-point range.
Let's lay the short number with the Cyclones to eliminate the Fighting Illini.
Pick: Iowa State -2 (-110)
