Iowa State is an impressive 23-3 this season, and 10-3 in conference play. The Cyclones most recently played on Monday in Ames against the no. 2 Houston Cougars, pulling off the upset on by a final score of 70-67. Iowa State’s conference losses came at TCU, Kansas, and Cincinnati.
BYU and Iowa State have met 10 times in the past, with Iowa State having the 7-3 advantage, despite BYU having won 3 out of 4 of the games since joining the Big 12 and both matchups under head coach Kevin Young.
