Iowa State is currently on a two-game winning streak against its in-state rivals on the hardwood. The last time Iowa defeated them was in 2022 at Carver-Hawkeye Area in a blowout, 75-56.

The Cyclones returned the favor the following year, blowing the Hawkeyes out 90-65 at Hilton Coliseum. Last year, Iowa State went on the road and took home the victory in the Cy-Hawk rivalry with an 89-80 win.

They will be looking to extend their winning streak against the Hawkeyes at Hilton Coliseum to three games. The last time they lost the rivalry game at home was in 2019, in an 84-68 defeat.

Iowa State was unable to slow down Luka Garza that night, as he scored 21 points with 11 rebounds. Tyrese Haliburton led the way for the Cyclones with a game-high 22 points.
