In this story:
The new and improved Big 12 Conference takes center stage Monday night with a primetime college basketball matchup on national television.
Longtime Pac-12 power Arizona (13-6, 7-1) hosts No. 3 Iowa State (17-2, 7-1) in what promises to be an electric atmosphere at McKale Memorial Center in Tucson.
The Wildcats and Cyclones are trying to stay within reach of Houston (16-3, 8-0) for first place in the Big 12. The matchup also has NCAA tournament implications.
Iowa State comes into the game ranked No. 6 in the NCAA NET Rankings and projected to be a No. 1 seed in the 2025 NCAA Tournament in ESPN's latest Bracketology projections. Arizona is ranked No. 15 in the NET and projected to be a No. 6 seed in the tournament.
A win by the Wildcats would likely propel them into the top 10 of the NET Rankings and onto the No. 4 seed line for the NCAA tournament. Arizona is a slight favorite according to ESPN's FPI. The predictive analytics give the Wildcats a 56.6% chance to win.
Arizona is 55-4 at home under head coach Tommy Lloyd, including 9-1 this season. Lloyd knows how big of a game this is, but he also knows there's a ton of basketball left to play.
"I'm not going to make it as 'our season hinges on Monday,'" Lloyd said after Arizona beat Colorado on Saturday. "But obviously it's a great opportunity for our program, and we ain't even thinking about winning the Big 12. Not yet. You've got to earn that right. You've got to earn that right. Because anything else is just words. And I hate words. I like action."
