While the recent seasons have been dominated by Caitlin Clark's headlines, the Cy-Hawk battle between Iowa State and Iowa continues to hold its own. This highly anticipated showdown between the 18th-ranked Cyclones (8-2) and the No. 21 Hawkeyes (8-1) is set to take place on Wednesday night at Carver-Hawkeye Arena and will be live on FS1. Tip-off is scheduled for 8 p.m.

Back on Track for Iowa State

After a loss to defending national champion South Carolina in Florida, Iowa State has regained its momentum with three consecutive wins. They showcased their dominance by defeating Middle Tennessee State at the invite and then handling both South Carolina Upstate and Central Michigan upon their return home. The Cyclone offense has been in top form, scoring over 75 points in seven out of their eight wins and reaching this mark eight times in 10 games overall. Audi Crooks leads the charge with an average of just under 20 points per night, while Addy Brown adds 14 points to the mix.

Iowa suffered its first loss of the season over the weekend when they faced Tennessee, with the final score being 78-68. Since the graduation of Clark, the Hawkeyes have become more balanced, with three players averaging double figures. Lucy Olsen takes the lead with 18 points per game.

Historical Rivalry
