Huge thanks to Kevin Fitzpatrick of Wide Right & Natty Light (SB Nation’s Iowa State site) for talking to us about today’s game!
Jack: The Cyclones have lost six games this season, but five of them have been close games against quality opponents. Despite the fact that they’re unranked, do you think this team has the potential to do some damage in March?
Kevin: Iowa State certainly has the potential -- if they can get there. Like you mentioned, the Cyclones have lost close games against good teams, but they have yet to pick up a "signature win" that is often required of teams looking to qualify for the NCAA Tournament.
