With a shooting percentage of 40.5 percent (24th), including 32.2 percent from three-point range (99th), the Cyclones allow 62.1 points per game, which is the fifth highest in the league. Additionally, they produce 29.5 rebounds a game, which is the 61st highest level. Throughout the course of a game, Iowa State University has a 3.0 block average (224th), 10.4 steals (second), and 16.5 fouls (145th of the league).
The KenPom rankings position Iowa State in ninth place among all of the schools in the country. In terms of offensive efficiency, the Cyclones are ranked 67th, while in terms of defensive efficiency, they are ranked second. In terms of pace (schedule-adjusted), the Cyclones are ranked 174th.
Houston Cougars Betting Prediction
Now we have the Iowa State vs Houston Betting prediction for the Cougars.
Houston has a scoring average of 74.2 points per game, which places them 165th. They shoot 43.8 percent, which positions them 240th, and 34.8 percent of their shots come from beyond the arc, which places them 135th. The University of Hawaii maintains a free-throw conversion rate of 68.7 percent, which positions them in the 298th position.

As far as KenPom is concerned, Houston is the most desirable city in the United States. Even after taking into account the schedule, the Cougars have a tempo that is 348th, yet their offensive efficiency is 12th, and their defensive efficiency is first.
Iowa State vs Houston Betting Pick
By destroying the red Raiders with a blowout in the second half of their game on Thursday, the Cougars proved that they are worthy of winning the championship. Houston maintained a strong defensive attitude from the beginning to the end of the game; but, after halftime, they really turned it up, outscoring TTU by a score of 50-30 in the second half of the game. The overall shooting percentage for H-Town was 49.2 percent, and they were successful in 12 of their 28 attempts from beyond the arc. They not only performed an outstanding job on the boards, but they also doubled up on the total number of points they scored in the paint.
As an additional point of interest, Iowa State was so dominant in its semifinal matchup against Baylor that they prevented Baylor from shooting fewer than 40 percent from the field. On the other hand, the Cyclones were able to shoot 10 out of twenty from beyond the arc, whilst the Bears’ three-point shooters were only able to make five out of twenty-four shots. They were able to score 32 points in the paint and be victorious in the turnover war with a plus seven turnover margin, despite the fact that they had a considerable disadvantage in terms of rebounds.
In the course of the regular season, the Cyclones and the Cougars faced off against each other on two separate occasions. In their most recent encounter, which took place on February 19, the Cougars were able to pull off a victory by a score of 73-65, despite the fact that ISU had a terrific shooting performance (9-for-17 from three) and a rebounding disadvantage of -9. Nevertheless, Houston never went behind, despite the fact that they shot only 29.2 percent from three-point range and 42.0 percent overall.
My expectation is that tomorrow will produce an outcome that is comparable. This past Friday was a fantastic day for the Cougars, both defensively and offensively; with a conference championship and other things at stake, it is difficult to think how they could have played a game that was less than impressive. I do not for a moment anticipate it happening.
