Entering Big 12 play, Iowa State faces a significant challenge in Arizona, a team with a deceptive record. While the Wildcats finished last season 4-8, their early-season play in 2024 has been much improved. However, their 3-0 record is misleading, as demonstrated by their narrow loss to Kansas State. A closer look at that game reveals a contest the Wildcats could have, and perhaps should have, won, showcasing their vulnerability despite a tough performance. This is particularly relevant for Iowa State, which decisively defeated Kansas State in a late-season matchup last year, proving their capability against a formidable opponent.Iowa
