Their shooting was particularly effective; they hit 48 percent from the field and an outstanding 43 percent from beyond the arc. Moreover, with an assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.5, it's clear that teamwork is one of ISU's strongest assets.

The Cyclones continued this trend in their game against Florida A&M Rattlers on December 17, where they ramped up their offense even further to score a whopping 96 points. Their defensive effort was equally impressive as they racked up 15 steals and capitalized on turnovers with an incredible total of 31 points off turnovers.

In another commanding performance on December 10 against Prairie View A&M Panthers, ISU broke into triple digits with a scoreline of 107-56 in favor of the home team. They were relentless in transition, scoring fast break after fast break totaling up to 21 points and converting turnovers into easy baskets which contributed significantly towards this landslide victory.

The upcoming match against OKST is expected to follow this pattern if ISU maintains its current form. The Cowboys will undoubtedly come prepared but facing a team like ISU at home — where they've been nothing short of spectacular — will be no easy task.

ISU fans should look forward to seeing more high-scoring action and tight defense from their team as these have become trademarks of this season’s performances so far. With players stepping up across all fronts and showing great chemistry on court, there’s every reason for optimism heading into this matchup.

Mark your calendars for January 13th when these two teams clash at James H. Hilton Coliseum in Ames at what will be an evening tip-off time locally (6:00 PM CST). Fans unable or unwilling to brave the cold can catch all the action live on ESPN2 channel number two hundred nine.
