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 35.3), they're currently ranked as our #2 team in the conference. With a strength-of-schedule rating of 0.743 (which ranks 22nd 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 ninth 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 38.3% of their three-pointers (28th in the nation), 72.1% of their near-proximity attempts (first), and 49.4% of their total shots from the field (ninth) 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 43rd in the NCAA in offensive field goal attempt rate with a rating of 86.70 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 20.12 vs. AO, they are currently rated tenth in the country in that category. Iowa State also does a bang-up job preventing the opposition from draining jumpers in between the three-point line and the low post. They're ranked 11th in Division I in defensive mid-range field goal percentage, allowing AO to make good on only 30.6% of their attempts from that distance. To capitalize on that weakness, this team will make AO shoot from mid-range locations more than they usually would. Of AO's total field goals, a large portion of them (31.3%) will be from mid-range. 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 87.37 in defensive field goal attempt rate vs. AO, which ranks 28th-worst in college basketball.

In all other contests, Iowa State performs better than average 17% of the time.
Iowa State is typically better vs. teams that tend to allow more shots on the perimeter. Against foes that have a defensive shooting proximity score vs. AO greater than 2.06, Iowa State performs above their norm 65% of the time. Against the remaining opposition, the team performs above average 28% of the time.
When facing teams that convert more frequently off of offensive rebounds, Iowa State often performs worse than normal. Iowa State is more efficient than usual 36% of the time when facing teams that have an offensive second-chance conversion percentage vs. AO greater than 6.02%. In their other contests, Iowa State performs better than the norm 70% of the time.
