Iowa State Cyclones Slip in Bracketology

0:00On March 2nd, Iowa State Cyclones men's basketball team just took a hit in the latest Bracketology projections. After a home loss to Texas Tech, they fell off the two-seed line, getting passed by Michigan State in Illinois according to ESPN's Joe Lunardi. This comes amid a rough stretch for the Cyclones with losses to BYU on the road and now Texas Tech at home, sandwiching a solid road win over Utah. Earlier, they bounced back strong with home victories against Kansas and Houston following a defeat at TCU. Michigan State's jump makes sense. The Spartans sit at 24 wins and 5 losses, riding a four-game winning streak that includes knocking off then number A Purdue. More surprising is Illinois moving ahead. The fighting Illinois are 22 and 7, but have dropped their last two games to UCLA and Michigan. Their recent wins haven't been against top-ranked foes, unlike Iowa State's setback to number 13, Texas Tech, that sets up a critical big Monday class for Iowa State against Arizona
