Southern vs Iowa State Prediction
I’ll stay with Iowa State. The Cyclones took a tough loss to a tricky Memphis team in their opener, shooting just 20 percent from three-point range (4-of-20) and 69 percent (22-of-32) from the line. Outside of that Iowa State played fairly well with just 11 turnovers and a competitive performance on the boards (a 38-36 deficit). The Cyclones looked much better in game two versus Southern Miss during a 26-point win. Iowa State shot 53 percent from the field with a 38-28 rebounding advantage and just 37 percent shooting allowed. The Cyclones did have a few more turnovers (15) however. Still, game three should be a highly manageable matchup for Iowa State.
As for Southern, they opened the season with a couple of tough games. First was a trip to SMU and a 13-point loss. In that one the Jaguars were great at the line (80 percent on 12-of-15) and didn’t shoot too badly on 44 percent. The 18 turnovers and 51 percent shooting allowed really hurt, though. In game two versus TCU, the Jaguars hit the wall in a blowout loss. Southern shot just 35 percent from the field in that one with 22 turnovers and a 43-30 rebounding deficit. As for game three against Drake, the Jags shot pretty well on 49 percent from the field and 43 percent (6-of-14) from outside. Southern was pretty competitive on the boards, but their Achilles heel came on 21 turnovers, which pretty much torpedoed their chances at their first win. The Jaguars need to get the ball control fixed or it’s going to be a long night.
