BYU Faces Iowa State in High-Stakes Clash: Can They Finally Claim the Elusive Signature Victory?

In Big 12 play, Iowa State ranks #4 in the conference in KenPom offensive efficiency and #3 in defensive efficiency.

The Cyclones shoot a blistering 39% from three as a team, behind leading scorer Milan Momcilovic. Momcilovic does it with both volume and efficiency — he shoots over seven threes per game at a 51% clip.

Big man Joshua Jefferson makes them unique to defend. With Toppin’s injury, Jefferson and AJ Dybantsa are the two most likely candidates for defensive player of the year.

Jefferson is arguably the best passing big man in the country, and Iowa State runs a lot of their offense through him.
