There's simply no way to ease into conference play and Iowa State will find that out the hard way on Saturday night. After wrapping up non-conference play with an 11-1 record, the #11 Cyclones will travel to Norman to battle #3 Oklahoma in what will be the biggest match up in the nation on a loaded day of college basketball action.
Iowa State is 7-3 in their last 10 games against the Sooners, but all three losses came in Norman and the Cyclones haven't won in the Lloyd Noble Center since February 4th, 2011. In those three losses, the Sooners' average margin of victory was 11 points.
