The Cyclones are 7-0 at home this season and come into this matchup riding an eight-game winning streak. They are also one of the best defensive teams in the country, ranked 17th in defensive efficiency and 12th in forced turnovers per game. That will play well against a Baylor team that has a mix of youth in their rotation. Iowa State has the better rebounding too and will push the pace in this game and try to create easy baskets against a vulnerable Bears' defense.
