It is closing in on two months since Iowa State won a basketball game and the Cyclones look to change that Tuesday with as visit to Oklahoma State. The Cyclones are 0-11 in the Big 12 but coach Steve Prohm felt his team showed progress on defense in Saturday’s 64-50 loss to Kansas.

Prohm says the key now is to sustain that effort each night out.

Prohm says as the Cyclones have returned to full strength they have done a better job of competing.

A good defensive effort was wasted on Saturday because of 23 turnovers.

Senior guard Jalen Coleman-Lands says the Cyclones are focused on what is ahead and not their winless Big 12 record.

Junior guard Rasir Bolton says the Cyclones will keep fighting.

The Cowboys are 6-6 in the Big 12 and dropped out of the top 25 after splitting games against Kansas and Kansas State. It is an early three o’clock tip off in Stillwater.
