The Cy-Hawk rivalry reignites Thursday evening as third-ranked Iowa State visits Iowa in a clash of high-scoring offenses. Both teams have impressive records heading into the contest, with the Cyclones at 7-1 and the Hawkeyes at 7-2.
Iowa State, under head coach T.J. Otzelberger, has built its success on a stifling defense, holding opponents to just under 65 points per game. However, the Cyclones’ offense has been equally remarkable this season, averaging nearly 88 points per game.
Their efficiency has been on full display, shooting 51% from the field, including a dominant 100-point showing against Jackson State last week. This offensive explosion came on the heels of a notable victory over Marquette, signaling that the Cyclones have bounced back from their lone loss of the season in Maui.
On the other hand, Iowa leans heavily on its offensive firepower, averaging 86 points per game. But defensive lapses have left the Hawkeyes vulnerable, allowing over 73 points per contest. Their recent stretch has been a rollercoaster, with narrow losses to Michigan and Utah State bookending a high-scoring win against South Carolina Upstate and a nail-biter over Northwestern.
