Iowa State Cyclones – Can They Beat Anyone Other Than Baylor?
Iowa State was reeling a week ago, but two consecutive wins over Baylor Bears has the Cyclones just two wins away from a Big 12 Championship. The Cyclones beat the Bears for the second time in five days with a 78-72 triumph Thursday night.
The Cyclones hosted the Jayhawks on February 4th and earned a big 68-53 victory. It was an impressive victory for Iowa State, but they would soon hit a rough path in their season.
According to the metrics, Iowa State is the 20th best team in the nation and are loved most by KenPom who has them 19th. The Cyclones are 12-12 in Quad One and Quad Two games this season.
Kansas Jayhawks – The Top Overall Seed in the Big Dance?
Kansas opened their Big 12 Tournament campaign with a comfortable 78-61 victory over West Virginia. The Jayhawks will be without head coach Bill Self the rest of the week and there should be serious doubts on his availability for the NCAA Tournament. However, the Jayhawks have enough talent to get the job done without one of the best in the business on the bench.
The Jayhawks hosted Iowa State early in the conference schedule and won a tough 62-60 battle. This game was the last game before Kansas went on a rare three-game losing streak in conference play.
