The 12th ranked ranked Iowa State Cyclones step out of the Big 12 race to visit Missouri on Saturday. It is part of the SEC/Big 12 Challenge and starts a busy weekend that will see ISU travel to Lubbock to play Texas Tech Monday night.

That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger who says they approaching this just like a conference game.

Otzelberger says a key against Mizzou will be limiting easy baskets.

The Cyclones are 15-4.
