ISU Player Prop: Osun Osunniyi Over 9.5 Points.
The 6 Foot 10 Center averages 8.9 points per game on 56.2% shooting. In his last 3 games, 15 points vs Oklahoma State on 7-15, 11 points vs TEX on 5-6, and 14 points vs Kansas on 7-10. He averages 17.4 minutes per game this season but played 23, 25, and 19 in his last 3. His usage and efficiency are up and tonight he’s got a supper friendly match-up. The Wildcats defense struggles against size, vs Kansas the top 3 scores 6’7 +, vs TCU top 2 scorers 6’7 +, vs OkSt top scorer 6’9. That’s just 3 of their last 4 games. Osunniyi is 6’10 with a Wingspan of 7’8. That’s just 2 Inches shorter than the NBA’s longest courtesy of Mo Bamba. The Wildcats play great perimeter defense, holding opponents to just 28.9% from deep (19th) and the Cyclones aren’t a great perimeter shooting team anyway at 35.5%. They’ll be working it inside to the big man whenever he's on the court. He maintains his little hot streak.
