Iowa State men’s basketball appeared at No. 9 in the latest Associated Press Poll, released on Monday, extending the program’s streak of being ranked in the top 10.
The streak is the longest in the nation, and remains intact after the Cyclones dropped Saturday’s game at Houston while being without their top two scorers.
Iowa State will face Oklahoma State Tuesday, before returning home to play No. 22 Arizona Saturday night.
