Tonight’s Kansas State vs Iowa State matchup in the Big 12 quarterfinals should be a convincing victory for the Iowa State Cyclones. Iowa State’s defense might be the best defense in Iowa college sports right now, even better than that of the Iowa Hawkeyes football team, as the Cyclones rank second in defense at Kenpom. They are allowing 62.1 points per game this season and they should shut down a Kansas State team that played a nail-biter against Texas yesterday.
