Why Iowa State’s Edge Over Kansas Could Reshape the Entire Season

Iowa State seemingly has one of the better programs every season. I don’t think they naturally come to mind when you think of college basketball, but they should as they are consistently fielding a team that performs well. This season is no different as they come into this game with a 16-0 record, and they are 3-0 in conference play. Sometimes teams have a fairly soft schedule to start a year and it makes them look better than they actually are. Is that the case with the Cyclones? I won’t say this is the toughest schedule I’ve ever seen. They had to face St. John’s and beat them, barely, but it looks like St. John’s isn’t quite as good as I thought they were to start the year. Their best win is certainly their victory over Purdue. They embarrassed the Boilermakers, beating them 81-58 at Purdue. Road wins against tough opponents like that are few and far between. Their past three games, all against conference opponents, have also been impressive as they’ve taken down West Virginia, Baylor, and Oklahoma State. Although none of those teams are ranked, I’d expect most to make a reasonable case for the field of 64.
