Iowa State men’s basketball came in at No. 4 in the final AP Poll released before the start of the NCAA Tournament.
The voters will still release a final poll following the conclusion of the tournament, and brackets were released Sunday.
The No. 4 ranking is Iowa State’s highest since it was ranked No. 4 in 2015 – which was Fred Hoiberg’s last season in Ames.
Iowa State, as a No. 2 seed, will take on No. 15 South Dakota State in Omaha on Thursday during the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
Below is the full, week 19 poll from the Associated Press.
