Iowa State’s schedule appears to be shaping up to match its considerable talent.
The Cyclones will begin a home-and-home series with Cincinnati next season with a trip to play the Bearcats on the road, a source confirmed to the Ames Tribune.
CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein was the first to report the games.
Cincinnati returns nearly the entirety of the team that accumulated a 23-11 record and won an NCAA tournament game before falling to Kentucky in the Round of 32. The Cyclones, meanwhile, return four from a squad that won the program’s second-straight Big 12 tournament title before being upset in the Round of 64.
