After a four-quarter mauling of ULM last week, one could argue that no fan base was more excited to start conference play than Iowa State’s. Unfortunately for the Cyclones and their fans, Baylor would be no easy task. The Bears came into the game undefeated, but having played the likes of Stephen F. Austin, UTSA, and Rice, who would’ve expected differently. Regardless, Iowa State would need to be ready, as this was their first road game of the season, and the Bears would be all to eager to hand the Cyclones an early conference loss after the heated battle from last year.
