It’s time for some serious Hilton Magic. The Cyclones have yet to win a game at home against a ranked team this season, and beating the top ten Baylor Bears would go a long way toward getting Iowa State above the dreaded 7-8 lines in the NCAA Tournament.
Steve Prohm is still looking for his first win against one of the Drew brothers, as he currently sits at 0-7 after losing in Waco and Nashville earlier this season. Baylor has also won five straight against our beloved Cyclones, including two straight in Ames. That’s...not ideal.
