If Iowa State were to play a clone of themselves in the first round of the NCAA tournament, it would be the Iona Gaels. The two squads have a ton of similarities, with many you've already heard by now. Both teams can really fill it up on offense neither team puts people in shackles on defense, and neither team wants to bang down low and outwork their opponent for boards.
These themes ring familiar for Cyclone fans, and that's exactly what's keeping Steve Prohm up at night. Combine Iowa State's dominant offense with a know-one-really-knows-what-you'll-get defense and rebounding and it's a recipe that makes the Cyclones almost impossible to predict from night to night.
