Based on their average score of 76.6 points per game, the Cyclones are a very good scoring team. This ranks them 91st in the league. Iowa State gets 34.5 boards per game, which ranks them 235th in the country. They also give out 16.2 assists per game, which ranks them 32nd in the country.
The Cyclones are sixth in the country in terms of scoring defense, making them one of the best in the country. It’s very bad that they give up 61.9 points per game. Last season, Milan Momcilovic scored 11.5 points and grabbed 3.2 rebounds per game. He is one of only four players to score in double figures this season.
Other players who can score include Keshon Gilbert (13.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, 4.1 assists), Tamin Lipsey (12.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 2.8 steals), Tre King (9.4 points, 5 rebounds), and Curtis Jones (10.3 points).

Best Bet for this Game
Two very strong attacking teams are going to be going up against us. They scored a lot of points in the first game of the season. Thus far this season, home teams have won 66.4% of league games.
In other words, this means they have done very well in these games. When they played TCU, BYU had a bad start from the outside, but in the second half, they were able to make jump shots that helped them score more points and erase the gap.
They might not have as much luck when they play Iowa State. So far this season, Iowa State has had one of the best defenses. Iowa State has won all 17 of their games played at home this season, while BYU has only won 3 of their 6 games played away from home. You should think that the Cyclones will take care of business at home so that they can win.
