Final: Memphis 80, Iowa State 76 Sure, this Memphis team is impressive, but Iowa State is definitely at fault for this loss. The defensive identity looks nothing like people expected, and offensively nothing is aligning in the paint or on the perimeter. This team needs more shooters or they won’t be able to compete with anyone.

Awful first half from the Cyclones. They need to really step up in the paint and play with more confidence offensively or this is a nightmare start to the year.

Iowa State is turning the ball over way to much. They need to keep the game under control and grind it out.

Prediction: Iowa State 85, Memphis 70. This Tigers team may look solid, but exhibitions don't mean everything. Without tons of talent or a good coach, it should be pretty easy for the Cyclones to win. Expect a dominant paint performance from Dom Pleta, Blake Buchanan, and Iowa State altogether. What's your score prediction?

I think Jaylen Raynor has earned himself a starting spot for the rest of the season.

I’ve been going to college football games for about 15 years. I’ve been to the Natty, the Rose Bowl, the Cotton Bowl, a Penn State whiteout, a Cyhawk game. Nothing has ever compared to last night at Jack Trice.
