The sixth ranked Iowa State men will try to close the regular season unbeaten at home on Wednesday night by hosting 20th ranked BYU. The Cougars are the top scoring team in the Big-12 and connected on 13 three pointers in an 87-72 victory in the first meeting back in mid-January.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. BYU leads the Big 12 by averaging more than 11 made three pointers per game.

Defensively the Cyclones work to keep the ball out of the paint so that can lead to more three point attempts by an opponent.

Iowa State is 23-6 overall and 12-4 in the Big 12.
