What to Know

Get ready for a Big 12 battle as the Oklahoma State Cowboys and the Iowa State Cyclones will face off at 7 p.m. ET Wednesday at James H. Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State will be strutting in after a victory while Oklahoma State will be stumbling in from a loss.

The Cowboys were close but no cigar this past Saturday as they fell 66-62 to the Oklahoma Sooners. One thing holding Oklahoma State back was the mediocre play of guard Bryce Thompson, who did not have his best game: he finished with only nine points on 4-for-11 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.

Speaking of close games: Iowa State escaped with a win this past Saturday against the Kansas State Wildcats by the margin of a single free throw, 74-73. The top scorers for Iowa State were guard Caleb Grill (18 points) and guard Izaiah Brockington (17 points). Grill hadn't helped his team much against the West Virginia Mountaineers last Wednesday, so this was a nice turnaround for him.

The Cowboys are expected to lose this next one by 4. The smart bettors have been the ones to keep their money on Oklahoma State's opponents whenever they hit the road.

Oklahoma State is now 13-15 while the Cyclones sit at 20-9. A couple stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: Oklahoma State is 16th worst in college basketball in turnovers per game, with 14.9 on average. To make matters even worse for Oklahoma State, Iowa State comes into the game boasting the 15th most takeaways per game in college basketball at 16.7.
