Cyclones hope to end run of futility against 10th-ranked WildcatsNCAA Basketball Betting Lines02/06/2010 - Ames, IA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Iowa State Cyclones have lost 18 straight games to top-25 foes and will attempt to end that skein this afternoon in Ames, as they play host to the 10th-ranked Kansas State Wildcats in Big 12 action from the Hilton Coliseum. The Wildcats are an impressive 4-1 in true road games this season and enter this tilt following a 76-57 whipping of Nebraska in Lincoln on Tuesday. The win was the fifth in the last seven games for KSU and pushed the team's conference mark to 5-3. The Cyclones have enjoyed most of their success in Ames, with 10 of the team's 13 victories coming at home. Still, the team has struggled of late regardless of the venue, dropping four of its last five outings, including an 84-63 lopsided affair at Baylor on Wednesday. Kansas State has won the last seven meetings with Iowa State and three straight in Ames. The Wildcats got a huge effort from senior Denis Clemente, as he hit five three-pointers en route to a game-high 23 points in a rout of Nebraska this week. The 19-point win marked the largest margin of victory in a league road game for KSU since the Big 12's inception. Joining Clemente is double figures were Jamar Samuels, who came off the bench to net 15 points, and Jacob Pullen and Curtis Kelly, who chimed in with 13 and 12 points, respectively. The Wildcats possess some serious offensive firepower, netting 81.0 ppg on a respectable .461 shooting. The team boasts of four players currently averaging double figures. Pullen is the best of the bunch, shooting a solid .410 from behind the arc, leading to 19.0 ppg. Clemente has the ability to create for himself (15.0 ppg) and others (team-high 89 assists). Samuels (12.0 ppg, 5.1 rpg) and Kelly (11.2 ppg, team-high 6.3 rpg) provide plenty of depth. A close game in the first half got out of hand after the break, as ISU allowed Baylor 11 second half offensive rebounds, leading to a 24-11 edge in rebounds in the second half for the hometown Bears. It also didn't help that Baylor connected on 53.1 percent from the floor, compared to a 43.6-percent effort for the Cyclones. Craig Brackins led the way offensively for ISU, finishing with 19 points. Marquis Gilstrap followed with 145 points, but it wasn't nearly enough to earn a road win in Waco. ISU is shooting an effective .469 from the floor this year, but the result is a pedestrian 74.4 ppg. Brackins and Gilstrap are the top producers this season and form quite the frontcourt tandem. Brackins leads the team in scoring at 16.5 ppg and ranks second in rebounding (8.0 rpg). Gilstrap is netting 14.5 ppg and paces the team on the boards (9.3 rpg).
