ANALYSIS:
A top-25 caliber adversary, Iowa State will likely be a stiff test for any team in Division I. Carrying a record of 23-12, they are currently rated #14 overall (out of 353) in All-Play Percentage this season. Of the 10 schools in the Big 12 (average ranking 37.6), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.739 (which ranks 24th nationally), Iowa State is one of the more battle-tested teams in the college game.

Iowa State showcases one of the country's most efficient offenses. Racking up about 118 points for every 100 possessions vs. AO, the team is nationally rated tenth in efficiency on that end of the floor. Iowa State is an excellent shooting team, capable of converting from multiple locations on the court and ranking in the top-50 in three of our four primary field goal categories. They convert 37.8% of their three-pointers (32nd in the nation), 72.8% of their near-proximity attempts (first), and 49.2% of their total shots from the field (tenth) vs. AO. Iowa State also has one of the better squads in the college game when it comes to maximizing opportunities to score. The team is ranked 36th in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.91 vs. AO.

Iowa State plays at roughly the same level defensively as they do offensively. The team ranks 33rd nationally in defensive efficiency, allowing about 95 points every 100 trips upcourt vs. AO. Iowa State is a superior unit when it comes to preventing opponents from getting to the foul line. With a defensive free throw attempt rate of 20.15 vs. AO, they are currently rated ninth in the country in that category. Iowa State will also take a bite out of many opponents' shooting percentages, based on the fact that the team ranks in the top-50 in three of our four primary defensive field goal categories. They'll inflict the most harm on the outside, allowing AO to convert just 32.0% of their three-pointers (41st in the nation), 30.9% of their mid-range chances (16th), and 40.1% of their total shots from the field (30th). If Iowa State does exhibit a weakness on the defensive end of the floor, it'd likely be the team's propensity to allow too many shot attempts per trip. The squad has a rating of 86.77 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 39th-worst in college basketball.
