Clutch Points: Bet Washington State to cover against Iowa State in NCAA Tournament
Bryan Logan writes: "Iowa State should be able to get the win here. They are good enough on defense to slow down the Washington State attack. Still, covering 7.5 points against a sound Washington State team may be difficult. Washington State has been playing well as of late and had a solid first-round game. Expect this to be a defensive battle, which will keep it tight as Washington State covers."
