Can Iowa State Cyclones Ride the Momentum at James H. Hilton Coliseum Against West Virginia Mountaineers?

As the Iowa State Cyclones prepare to host the West Virginia Mountaineers at James H. Hilton Coliseum, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent success on their home court. The Cyclones have been showing a strong performance in recent games, with a notable victory over the Horned Frogs where they scored 71 points and demonstrated a solid field goal percentage of 50 percent.

The Cyclones' offense has been particularly effective, with an impressive three-point shooting percentage of 42 percent in that game and an even more remarkable free throw percentage of 83 percent. Their defense also stepped up, recording six blocks and limiting turnovers to just ten.

In another recent matchup against the Longhorns at Moody Center, the Cyclones emerged victorious with 70 points despite being away from home. They maintained a steady two-point field goal percentage of 43 percent and capitalized on turnovers by scoring 18 points off them.
