Iowa State (19-9, 10-5 Big 12) kicks off a two-game road swing on Saturday with a challenging matchup against No. 19 Baylor (23-5, 13-2 Big 12). Riding a four-game winning streak, the Cyclones are still chasing their first victory over a ranked opponent this season.
Currently, Iowa State holds a 10-5 record in Big 12 action and sits fifth in the conference for points scored in the paint, averaging 33.9 per game—powered by Audi Crooks, who leads the way with 17.2 points per outing.
Despite entering the season ranked No. 12, Baylor stumbled early. The Bears started 2-4 and suffered a surprising 73-65 upset against Indiana during the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in the Bahamas.
However, Baylor has turned the tide and is closing the season in dominant fashion. The Bears are riding a seven-game winning streak—the longest active run in the Big 12—and have firmly established themselves as contenders with less than two weeks left before the conference tournament tips off.
