Iowa State Cyclones Face TCU Horned Frogs in Fort Worth Showdown
As the Iowa State Cyclones prepare to face off against the TCU Horned Frogs at Schollmaier Arena, fans are eager to see if their team can maintain their recent dominant form. The Cyclones have been on a winning streak, showcasing impressive statistics that promise an exciting game.
In their last three games, the Cyclones have displayed a formidable offense coupled with a robust defense. Their most recent victory against Prairie View A&M Panthers saw them score 107 points with an outstanding field goal percentage of 61 and converting 60 percent from beyond the arc. They also excelled in fast-break points with 21 and capitalized on turnovers, scoring 34 points off them.
Their performance against Florida A&M Rattlers was equally impressive, where they put up 96 points and maintained a high field goal percentage of 59. The team's defensive prowess was evident as they racked up 15 steals leading to numerous transition opportunities, resulting in another game with double-digit fast-break points (13).
Against Eastern Illinois Panthers, the trend continued as Iowa State scored efficiently from all areas of the court. They shot over half of their two-point attempts successfully and were nearly automatic from the free-throw line at an impressive rate of approximately 89 percent.
The venue could play a pivotal role in this upcoming match-up. While Schollmaier Arena will provide home-court advantage for TCU Horned Frogs, it's worth noting that Iowa State has shown resilience on both ends of the floor regardless of location.
Fans can expect Iowa State to continue leveraging their high-scoring offense while applying pressure defensively to force turnovers and create easy scoring opportunities. If they maintain their assist-to-turnover ratio which has been favorable in past games and continue dominating inside paint scoring as well as second-chance point production, it could be another successful outing for them.
The game is scheduled for January 20th at Schollmaier Arena in Fort Worth, Texas. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN Networks starting at local time TBD.
