The No. 9 Iowa State Cyclones (21-7) are looking to keep their momentum rolling at home, where they’ve won three straight games. They'll face a tough test against the No. 22 Arizona Wildcats (19-9), with tipoff set for 9 pm ET on Saturday.
The Wildcats have had an up-and-down campaign, experiencing some hot stretches but also a few rough patches. Arizona stumbled out of the gates, starting the season 4-5 with losses to Wisconsin, Duke, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and UCLA. However, they found their rhythm, bouncing back with a 13-1 stretch, during which their only loss came against Texas Tech. They notched victories over Samford, Central Michigan, TCU, Cincinnati, West Virginia, UCF, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Colorado, Iowa State, Arizona State, BYU, and Texas Tech during that time.
Lately, though, the Wildcats have hit another rough patch, going 1-3 in their last four contests. Their lone win came against Baylor, while they suffered defeats to Kansas State, Houston, and BYU. Heading into this matchup, Arizona holds a 19-9 overall record through 28 games.
The Cyclones were on fire in the early part of the season, winning 17 of their first 19 games with victories over MS Valley State, Kansas City, IUPUI, Dayton, Colorado, Marquette, Jackson State, Iowa, Omaha, Morgan State, Colorado, Baylor, Utah, Texas Tech, Kansas, UCF, and Arizona State. However, since late January, things have taken a turn, as they’ve gone 4-5 in their last nine outings.
During that stretch, Iowa State managed wins against TCU, UCF, Cincinnati, and Colorado, but they've also taken some tough losses to Arizona, Kansas State, Kansas, Houston, and Oklahoma State. Now sitting at 21-7 on the season, the Cyclones will look to steady the ship with a crucial win at home.
