Strong positive EV on Iowa State -24.5 after vig normalization; massive talent gap drives projection
FULL ANALYSIS
Iowa State, battle-tested in Big 12 meat grinder, faces Tennessee State cupcakes in tournament opener. -24.5 looks soft given ISU's defensive clamp (top-20 efficiency) vs Tigers' weak O-efficiency. No line movement but ML implies 89% ISU win prob—spread lags behind. Model projects 82-57 final; fade the mid-major in power-con mismatch.
SHARP MONEY
No reverse line movement but -24.5 vs massive ML disparity (-8000) implies sharp respect for Iowa State's cover; public may undervalue blowout in tournament opener
