What to Know

Get ready for a Big 12 battle as the #12 Iowa State Cyclones and the Oklahoma State Cowboys will face off at 2 p.m. ET Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena. The teams split their matchups last year, with the Cyclones winning the first 84-81 on the road and Oklahoma State taking the second 53-36.

Iowa State had enough points to win and then some against the Texas Longhorns on Tuesday, taking their game 78-67. Iowa State's guard Jaren Holmes looked sharp as he had 21 points.

Meanwhile, while not quite a landslide, the contest between Oklahoma State and the Oklahoma Sooners on Wednesday was still a pretty decisive one as Oklahoma State wrapped it up with a 72-56 win at home. Four players on the Cowboys scored in the double digits: guard Bryce Thompson (19), forward Kalib Boone (15), guard Avery Anderson III (14), and guard Woody Newton (12).
