Here come the Iowa State Cyclones and they are coming in hot. Iowa State is now 13-2 on the season and a perfect 4-0 in the Big 12 so far this season. The Cyclones only two losses thus far have come against UConn and Iowa. They already have wins over the likes of North Carolina, Baylor and TCU. On Tuesday night, the Cyclones kept it going with an 84-50 rout of Texas Tech at home. Gabe Kalcheur scored a game-high 25 points including 5-0f-6 from downtown. ISU also forced 19 turnovers in the game as they matched the team's best start in conference play since 1999-2000.
