In their last three games, the Cyclones have not only won but done so with an overwhelming offensive display. They put up 80 points against Eastern Illinois, 96 against Florida A&M, and an astonishing 107 versus Prairie View A&M. These victories were characterized by high shooting percentages from both inside and beyond the arc – consistently above fifty percent for field goals and approaching or exceeding that mark from three-point range.
The team's defensive prowess has also been notable; they've managed to keep turnovers low while forcing their opponents into mistakes. With an average turnover margin significantly in their favor across these games, it's clear that Iowa State has been able to convert defensive plays into scoring opportunities effectively.

Their assist-to-turnover ratio has been exceptional, indicating smart ball handling and decision-making under pressure.
Rebounding has also played a crucial role in Iowa State’s strategy; they've consistently outrebounded opponents and capitalized on second-chance points while limiting opponents' opportunities in this area.
As they face off against Texas Tech Red Raiders, maintaining these trends will be crucial for another victory at home where they’ve shown comfort and confidence all season long.
