Game to Watch: Iowa State vs. Iona
I have a hard time seeing Iowa State crash out again so early for the second straight year, but this is a hot upset pick. The MAAC champions are a strong 13 seed, coming in at 77th in KenPom, and their star and leading scorer Alex English might have an NBA future.
