March Madness picks, odds, and predictions for Illinois Fighting Illini vs Iowa State Cyclones. March Madness picks, including best bet and SGP.
They say style makes the fight and this Sweet 16 tilt between Illinois and Iowa State pits a highly efficient offense vs. a stingy defense. Our CBB picks believe the only certainty in this one is Terrance Shannon Jr. continuing to fill the basket.of the Sweet Sixteen will cap Thursday night, the No. 3 Illinois Fighting Illini looking to upset the No. 2 Iowa State Cyclones. The Illini are short underdogs of only +1.
In Iowa State’s five postseason games, four individual opponents have scored at least 18 points. Bucket-getters can, indeed get buckets against the Cyclones. It is a magnificent team defense, but it can be exposed via isolation or, more a rarity, sharp-shooting from deep. In 14 games, Shannon has averaged 27.0 points, falling short of 23 points just twice. His true shooting percentage in this stretch has been a lofty 65.8%. The best conference-only number from the four players with recent success against Iowa State was South Dakota State guard Zeke Mayo’s 61.3%, a number inflated by Summit League competition. Among the three major-conference players, the highest conference-only number was 60.8% from Wells.
He would have threaded this combination in the NCAA Tournament opener against Morehead State, too, if not for a garbage-time 3-pointer.
