What to Know

After two games on the road, the Iowa State Cyclones are heading back home. The Cyclones and the Kansas State Wildcats will face off in a Big 12 battle at 4 p.m. ET Saturday at James H. Hilton Coliseum. Iowa State lost both of their matches to K-State last season on scores of 65-74 and 56-61, so they're hoping to turn the tables this season.

The game between Iowa State and the West Virginia Mountaineers on Tuesday was not a total blowout, but with Iowa State falling 79-63 on the road, it was darn close to turning into one. Guard Tyrese Hunter (22 points) was the top scorer for Iowa State.

Meanwhile, the Wildcats ended up a good deal behind the Baylor Bears when they played on Wednesday, losing 75-60. Guard Nijel Pack did his best for K-State, finishing with 31 points (a whopping 52% of their total). This also makes it three games in a row in which Pack has had at least three steals.

The Cyclones are the favorite in this one, with an expected 5-point margin of victory. They have been good against the spread at home while K-State has been good against the spread on the road, so something will have to give.

Both teams will surely be fighting tooth and nail to get back into the win column after losses this week. Check back to see which squad is able to work their way into the win column.
