Well, believe it or not the Iowa State Men’s Basketball Team is done with their non-conference schedule and is headed to Big 12 play. The Cyclones began the year with minimal expectations after headed to the Sweet Sixteen last year. After notching a few Buy Game wins early, Iowa State made some noise in Brooklyn with wins against Villanova and then-number-1-ranked North Carolina before bowing out to the now Ken Pom number 2 ranked UCONN Huskies. Following a nuclear beatdown of St. John’s at Hilton, the Cyclones handed the launch keys to the McCaffrey family and watched them beat the life out of an Iowa State team that was about as successful in putting the ball in the basket as the WRNL staff is at spitting game on the weekends.
