Colorado lost by 28 points to the Cyclones five games ago. This is Iowa State’s second true road game, and the Buffaloes are 8-0 SU at home. Despite losing two out of three in Maui, Colorado is still battled tested and has the size to compete on the glass. The Cyclones are one of the best defenses in the country but are middle of the pack when guarding the perimeter, as Colorado shoots 37.2% on the year. Since they were blown out by the Cyclones previously, the Colorado should have a better game plan, especially at home, to stay within the number.
