Iowa State at No. 23 in latest AP Poll

Iowa State suffered a pair of losses this week on the road at Texas Tech and on Saturday at home to TCU.

The team remained in the top 25, however, coming in at No. 23 in this week’s AP Poll.

The Cyclones are one of four Big 12 teams ranked in the poll, joining No. 4 Baylor, No. 5 Kansas, and No. 13 Texas Tech. Texas received 61 votes and TCU earned 6, as they just missed the top 25.

Iowa State will take the court twice this week, but only once against a Big 12 opponent. The team travels to Stillwater on Wednesday night before welcoming in Missouri on Saturday as part of the Big 12 – SEC Challenge.
