Iowa State Cyclones
Iowa State may not be the best team out there or the flashiest, but here they are in the Sweet 16. I think the fact they have made it this far has surprised a lot of people.
The Cyclones took care of the Wisconsin Badgers on Sunday by a score of 54-49. It was certainly not the prettiest win one could get, but those sorts of things are not important during the month of March.
One thing that I have been impressed with about this team during the regular season and in March Madness is their defense. Offensively, they may not be the best team out there, but that has not been an issue for them in the first two rounds.
On the note of defense, I thought they looked tremendous on that side of the ball in the win over the Badgers. When you hold a team of that caliber to that few points, you know you are doing something right.
Miami Hurricanes
Throughout the season and even now, Miami has been a team that has flown under the radar a bit, but people really should be giving them the credit they deserve, as they are not just some fluke club.
In 35 games played, the Hurricanes have a record of 25-10. The win and loss mark is impressive, but so are some of the teams they have knocked off during both the regular season and in the big dance.
This squad beat the Auburn Tigers on Sunday by a score of 79-61. They made one of the better teams in the country look lifeless, which I do not think many folks anticipated
It was a strong second half for them that really propelled them to victory over Auburn, as they outscored them by a 79-61 margin. It is one thing to beat a team like that, but to defeat them in that fashion is no joke.

Free Iowa State Cyclones vs. Miami Hurricanes NCAAB Summary:
If you told people before the tournament started that these two teams would be squaring off in the sweet 16, I do not think many of them would agree. Although a bit improbable, I still feel it will be a good one.
4* Free CBB Betting Pick: Iowa State ATS
In this matchup, the Cyclones are the better defensive team, while the Hurricanes are better on offense. Something will have to give a little bit.
I understand that a lot of people are on the Miami train, especially after the convincing win over Auburn, but I am not so sure I want to lay this number with them.
It may not be pretty, but I feel that Iowa State can keep themselves in this game with a strong defensive showing and it would not shock me if they won the game outright.
My play is on Iowa State at +2.5 here.
