In their last three outings at home, Iowa State has averaged an astounding 94 points per game while maintaining a strong defensive stance. Their shooting efficiency from both inside and beyond the arc has been remarkable, with field goal percentages hovering around 60 percent in two of those contests. This offensive firepower is complemented by an aggressive defense that has consistently forced turnovers and converted them into fast-break opportunities.


The team's ability to distribute the ball effectively is evident from their high assist numbers, which speaks volumes about their cohesive playstyle. Moreover, they've demonstrated resilience on the boards with balanced rebounding efforts on both ends of the court.


One area where Iowa State will look to maintain control is in minimizing turnovers; despite some high turnover games, they've shown they can keep these numbers down and will need to do so against a formidable Kansas side.


The venue itself could play a role in this upcoming game; known for its raucous atmosphere and passionate fan base, James H. Hilton Coliseum provides a true home-court advantage that often energizes the Cyclones while posing an intimidating challenge for visiting teams.


As we approach game day, fans should expect Iowa State to continue leveraging their strengths: scoring depth, defensive pressure leading to transition points, and efficient ball movement. If they can sustain these trends against Kansas Jayhawks' robust lineup, it promises to be another exciting chapter in this storied rivalry.
