Iowa State Cyclones vs West Virginia Mountaineers

On the surface, it seems like a dream matchup.

When No. 7 West Virginia visits Iowa State on Tuesday night for a Big 12 game at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa, it will be the Mountaineers' ferocious full-court pressure against the Cyclones' cool point guard, Monte Morris.

The team that forces 22.7 turnovers per game against the preseason All-America pick who has committed only 23 turnovers in 20 games. The team averaging nearly 12 steals per game versus the team guilty of just 10.1 turnovers per game.

Something has to give here. But it might not necessarily be advantage West Virginia (17-4, 5-3) if it harries Morris and Iowa State (13-7, 5-3) into a few more mistakes than usual, or advantage Cyclones if they don't cough up a spate of live-ball turnovers.
