Iowa State Cyclones Dominate Big Twelve Tournament

0:00On March 12, Iowa State Cyclones are dominating the big 12 men's basketball tournament in 2026. In the second round, they crushed Arizona State by a conference record, 49 points. Just 24 hours later, they handled Texas Tech by 22 points in the quarter finals, punching their ticket to the semi-finals. Their wins came from total control inside the paint and suffocating defense that forced tons of turnovers. The cyclones own the boards and shut down opponent scoring chances at every turn. Fans and analysts are buzzing about Iowa State's relentless effort on both ends of the floor. They die for loose balls, battle for every rebound, and stay locked in when it counts, showing a level of grit that's hard to match. Stand out big men, Blake Buchanan and Joshua Jefferson have been beasts lately, controlling the interior on defense and powering the offense. Meanwhile, guards Ham and Lipsy has stepped up big, dropping double figures in most recent games while dishing assists and locking down guards.

1:02With this momentum, Iowa State looks prime for a deep run through the rest of the big 12 and in some March madness.
