Iowa State has held serve at home but it may be success on the road that holds the key to the Cyclones’ title hopes in the Big 12. ISU has dropped three straight conference road games heading into Wednesday night’s visit West Virginia. They still have games remaining at Texas, Baylor and Kansas State. Iowa State is 2-3 on the road in conference play.

That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger who says it is about doing the little things it takes to win close games on the road.

The Cyclones are 7-3 in the league race and the glass is one of the reasons. Iowa State ius near the top in the country at second chance points.

The Cyclones are up two spots to 11th in the latest AP Poll.
