The Iowa State Cyclones (19-9, 9-6 Big 12) returns to action when it plays at Oklahoma (18-9, 9-6) this afternoon. Tip-time at the Lloyd Noble Center is 12:45-p.m. The Cyclones are coming off a crushing OT loss to Kansas, though the Big 12 has acknowledged officiating mistakes that cost Iowa State dearly in the closing seconds. The Cyclones pounded the Sooners 83-64 in Ames earlier this season.

The Iowa Hawkeyes (18-10, 7-8 Big Ten) meanwhile, look to move to .500 in the Big Ten – and boost its NCAA tournament hopes – when it plays at No. 1 Indiana (24-4, 12-3) tonight at Assembly Hall. The Hoosiers beat Iowa 69-65 in the Big Ten opener for both teams. Indiana likely won’t overlook the Hawkeyes after losing at Minnesota on Wednesday. Pre-game coverage on KJAN begins at 5:30-p.m., with tip-off at 6:30.
