Torvik has them going 19-12 (10-10).
They're not likely to be great but they're not likely to be terrible, either.
I think there's quite a bit of pausing and talking through scenarios but I may be thinking of something else.
I'll take a wild guess that they have a good/decent offense and optional defense with exception to a few games like one night in December.
This got me wondering when most-recent season ISU played an exhibition (and not secret scrimmage).
From what I found on cyclones.com, 2017-18 vs. Emporia State.
Does anyone know why we've gone the scrimmage route? Or is that more common in D-1 in general recently anyway?
Aren’t there rules of who you can play in an exhibition vs scrimmage? I assume ISU wants to tune up against D1 competition. Where Iowa prefers to play against their level of competition in exhibitions.
Dickinson and Griffin didn't play in KU's scrimmage against Arkansas and they got thumped 85-69
I watched some of it On Nebby Public TV. Greg McDermott now 32-0 in D1 exhibition games including 15-0 at Creighton and 7-0 with ISU. This was a charity game and raised $150,000 for the United Way of the Midlands Disaster Relief Fund. Purdue is preseason #14 and Creighton #15. I think the final was 94-87 Creighton.

Northwestern returns 4 starters from a team that won an NCAA tournament game. Good test yesterday.
I don't know, but over the weekend I have seen Kansas @ Arkansas and Illinois @ Ole Miss exhibition games. I'd like Iowa State to do that!
