The Cyclones have been showcasing a dominant offense in recent games, with their latest victory over the Panthers ending in a staggering 107-56 scoreline. Their offensive prowess was highlighted by an incredible 61 percent two-point shooting accuracy and a remarkable 60 percent from beyond the arc. The team also demonstrated efficiency from the free-throw line, hitting 75 percent of their shots.


Defensively, Iowa State has been just as formidable. In their past three games, they've averaged over five blocks and fifteen steals per game – a testament to their aggressive and effective defensive strategy that has left opponents struggling to keep pace.


The team's ability to convert turnovers into points has been another key factor in their success; they scored an impressive 34 points off turnovers against Prairie View A&M Panthers alone. Moreover, with an assists turnover ratio consistently above average – peaking at an exceptional 4.8 against Florida A&M Rattlers – it's clear that teamwork and ball movement are central tenets of this squad’s gameplay.


Playing at home has provided an additional boost for Iowa State; fan support within James H. Hilton Coliseum is known for being both passionate and intimidating for visiting teams.


As we look forward to this matchup, it’s evident that if Iowa State continues executing with such high efficiency on both ends of the court, they will be tough contenders for any team facing them.


Mark your calendars: The clash between Iowa State Cyclones and Oklahoma State Cowboys is scheduled for January 13th at 5 PM CT (23:00 UTC) at James H. Hilton Coliseum in Ames, IA. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN2 channel number 209.
