The Cyclones are a very good offensive club, as seen by the fact that they score 76.6 points per game on average, which places them 91st in the season. On average, Iowa State gets 34.5 rebounds per game, which places them 235th in the nation, and they send out 16.2 assists per game, which places them 32nd overall in the nation.
When it comes to scoring defense, the Cyclones are among the best in the country, ranking sixth in the nation. They allow 61.9 points per game, which is a very high number. With 11.5 points and 3.2 rebounds per game this season, Milan Momcilovic is one of four players who have scored in double digits through the course of the season.
Among the secondary scoring possibilities, 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, five rebounds), and Curtis Jones (10.3 points) are also excellent choices.

Best Bet for this Game
There are a couple of high-octane offensive units who are going to be competing against us, and they scored a lot of points in the first game of the season. As of Tuesday, home teams have won 66.4% of the time in conference games during this season.
This indicates that they have had a lot of success in these games. When playing TCU, BYU had a terrible start from the perimeter, but they were able to knock down jumpers in the second half, which allowed them to pile up additional points and eliminate the deficit.
They might not have as much luck when they play Iowa State, which is one of the defensive teams that has been the most stingy so far this season. During the current season, BYU has only a record of 3-6 when playing away from home, but Iowa State has won all 17 of their games played at home. Assume that the Cyclones will take care of business at home in order to be successful and get the victory.
