When Tuesday rolls around, we will be one month away from Iowa State's season opener against Colorado in Sioux Falls. Frankly, that day can't come soon enough. In the interim, we'll be covering every possible angle to get you ready for the 2015-2016 season.
Today, we start by looking at Iowa State's non-conference schedule.
In Fred Hoiberg's five seasons in Ames, Iowa State was 55-10 in pre-conference play, highlighted by a perfect 12-0 non-conference campaign in '13-'14. There were program-changing wins (Michigan), remarkable blowout victories (BYU in 2013 and Arkansas in 2014) and a dominant 4-1 stretch against in-state rival, Iowa.
