The Iowa State men face their first true road test of the season on Friday night with a visit to DePaul. The Cyclones are 5-2 after dropping their final two games at a tournament in Florida and coach T.J. Otzelberger says they have been focused on the things it takes to get a road win.

DePaul is off to a dreadful start. The Blue Demons are 1-5, have lost three straight and their only victory was a 12-point win over South Dakota at home.

Otzelberger expects to face a motivated DePaul team.
