The Iowa State men will advance to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament for the seventh time with a victory over Washington State Saturday in Omaha. The fourth ranked Cyclones opened the tournament with an 82-65 win over South Dakota State. Washington State edged Drake 66-61 on Thursday night.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. It is expected to be another pro-Cyclone crowd in Omaha.

Senior guard Curtis Jones says the fans give Iowa State an advantage.

Senior forward Tre King says Washington State will challenge the Cyclones in the post.
