Iowa State vs. Kansas State Game Preview
Iowa State lost a shocker at Oklahoma State on Saturday, falling 61-59 in Stillwater. However, that was on the road. The Cyclones have been an outstanding home team this season, and you better believe the crowd in Ames will give them plenty of energy while facing a top five opponent on Tuesday. Iowa State is a perfect 10-0 at home this year, most notably ripping through Baylor (77-62), Texas Tech (84-50), and Texas (78-67) in front of the home fans.
Kansas State has overachieved up to this point, boasting a 17-2 record that has them ranked No. 5 in the latest AP Poll. The Wildcats are an incredible run, winning 11 of their last 12 games. That includes impressive road victories at No. 10 Texas and No. 17 Baylor. The only blemish in that stretch came at No. 11 TCU, as the Horned Frogs walloped Kansas State by a score of 82-68. So which version of the Wildcats will show up on the road tonight?

Kansas State ranks 34th in offensive efficiency, and the Wildcats are no stranger to flirting with 100 points in conference play. Kansas State is good enough to hang around in this game and keep the score close. The Cyclones should pull out the home victory, but it could come down to the final possessions.
