The No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones (18-2, 5-2 Big 12) will try to remain undefeated at home tonight when they host the Colorado Buffaloes (12-8, 2-5 Big 12) at the Hilton Coliseum in Ames, IA. Tipoff for this Big 12 battle is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST, with coverage provided by FS1.
Iowa State is a top ten team for a reason. The Cyclones started the season winning their first 16 games, including contests vs. two ranked opponents (No. 14 St. John’s and No. 1 Purdue). They hit their first roadblock against Kansas, dropping that game 84-63, and followed it with their only other loss of the season, 79-70 vs. Cincinnati. They have since bounced back with wins over UCF (87-57) and Oklahoma State (84-71). As for Colorado, the season got off to a good enough start with eight consecutive wins, and they were 10-3 heading into conference play. Big 12 play started well with wins over Arizona State and Utah, but it has gone downhill ever since, with five consecutive losses. The last was on Saturday at home vs. UCF (95-86).
In several conferences, Iowa State would be the favorite to win the conference title. But since Houston and Arizona are in the Big 12, they have the third-best odds to win the conference.
