enCYCLONEpedia: Iowa State vs Kansas State preview

Meet the Kansas State Wildcats; the shocking team at the top of the Big 12 standings. Thanks in large part to a favorable early schedule (the ninth easiest thus far according to KenPom.com) and a completely unexpected win in Norman a week and a half ago. Bruce Weber brings his team to Ames with an …

enCYCLONEpedia: Iowa State vs Kansas preview

When it comes to talking about winning conference championships, these are the games that decide it all. That is even more true in the Big 12 where the Kansas Jayhawks have had a strangle hold on the conference crown for the past 10 seasons. If Iowa State wants to contend for the title, beating Kansas …

I know it’s difficult to do. We’re in the midst of a season where the Cyclones are aspiring for a conference crown and games are in full swing and flying at us at a breakneck pace. A new battle every two to four days that is sure to be as physically draining as watching games …

enCYCLONEpedia: Iowa State at Baylor

The Baylor Bears are looking a bit different this year as they host Iowa State with their 12-3 record and 1-2 mark in league play. They opened with a road loss to Oklahoma and a home loss to Kansas before winning at TCU in overtime this past Saturday. The Bears are one of the surprise …

It wasn’t a shocking development to me entirely, but, I was caught off guard. Way back on December 9th when the UMKC Kangaroos paid a visit to Hilton Coliseum, I was fortunate enough to score some really good seats in the arena circle instead of my normal perch in the balcony. I was surrounded by …

The West Virginia Mountaineers are the surprise team of the Big 12. They sit at 14-1 (2-0) and are ranked No. 14 in the country. To illustrate some of the surprise with how far they have climbed the ladder, WVU started the season at No. 55 in the Ken Pomery rankings, today they are 12th. …

enCYCLONEpedia: Team scoring and player ratings

After the debacle in Brooklyn, I took some time earlier this week to look at Iowa State’s scoring efficiency so far this season. It was then that I noticed that in 10 games this year, the Cyclones had scored at 1.10 points per possession (PPP) and in the two losses to Maryland and South Carolina …

enCYCLONEpedia: Iowa State vs Oklahoma State preview

Big 12 play has finally arrived for us in Ames and regardless of the poor shooting that led to a loss in Brooklyn against Frank Martin’s improving South Carolina team, it wasn’t a loss to unleash a fireball of concern. It could largely be attributed to the worst 3-point shooting percentage for a Fred Hoiberg …

enCYCLONEpedia: Profiling South Carolina

It would be my preference to profile South Carolina after actually watching them play but we don’t have that luxury and I wanted to at least put something together for this Brooklyn showdown because it is a pretty big game. South Carolina has come on rather strong and it will be a stiff test for …

Monte Morris is a better point guard than you, really, he is. Through just a year and a half of playing at Iowa State, he’s starting to make the case as one of the best ever as a Cyclone. That’s a gaudy statment but it also appears to be a true statement. We already know …
