As the Iowa State Cyclones prepare to face off against the Kansas State Wildcats at Bramlage Coliseum, fans are eager to see if the team can maintain their recent momentum. The Cyclones have shown a mixed bag of results in their past games, with a thrilling double-overtime victory against the Wildcats themselves, followed by a tough loss to the Texas Longhorns and another defeat at the hands of Oklahoma Sooners.

The Cyclones' performance has been characterized by strong assists numbers, particularly in their win over Kansas State where they racked up 25 assists.

Rebounding is another area where Iowa State has excelled; they outrebounded opponents significantly in two recent games but fell short against Texas. Defensively speaking, steals and blocks have been fairly consistent for them across these matchups.

Playing away at Bramlage Coliseum could pose challenges for Iowa State as home-court advantage often plays a significant role in game dynamics. The venue is known for its energetic atmosphere which could fuel the Wildcats' performance.
