Throw out the numbers. Throw out the records. Throw it all out.
#5 Iowa State plays Northern Iowa on Saturday in the Hy-Vee Big 4 Classic in Des Moines and if recent trends mean anything, the game will likely come down to the wire. In their last 5 match ups alone, two games have gone to overtime and the other 3 came down to a possession or two at the end.
The Cyclones will of course be without the services of Naz Mitrou-Long, but do gain Deonte Burton, who had to sit out the first semester after transferring from Marquette last year.
