Cyclones drop to No. 23 in AP Poll

Iowa State men’s basketball dropped to No. 23 in the latest AP Poll, despite a 1-1 week that saw a top 25 win over TCU and a road loss to a top 15 Kansas State team.

Six Big 12 programs again appeared in the poll Monday, along with Oklahoma State receiving one vote.

Kansas was ranked No. 3, Texas is at No. 8, Baylor at No. 9, Kansas State moved down to No. 14, and TCU is No. 24.

The Cyclones will return to the court against No. 8 Texas on Tuesday, February 21 for an 8:00 p.m. tipoff on Longhorn Network.
