(Radio Iowa) – The 17th ranked Iowa State men look to stay unbeaten at home tonight (Thursday night), against Iowa. ISU is 8-0 and has dropped three straight to the Hawkeyes.

That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger who says the Cyclones have focused on the same things that got them off to an 8-0 start.

It will be a Cyclone team that rides defense and rebounding against an Iowa team that averages more than 90 points per game.

Iowa coach Fran McCaffery has been impressed with how quickly the Cyclones have jelled.

McCaffery says while ISU has a new roster it is a talented one.

McCaffery says defense is where it starts for the Cyclones.

McCaffery wants to find a way to get Jordan Bohannon more shots. The senior guard has only attempted three shots from distance in the last two games.
