St. John's at Iowa State

Both teams are off to great starts this year with St. John's undefeated in eight games and Iowa State is 6-1 and the only loss was against Connecticut. The Cyclones have won all four true home games, including 63-44 over North Dakota on Wednesday when they outscored the Fighting Hawks 37-20 in the second half while holding them to 35 percent shooting for the game. Coach T.J. Otzelberger is in his second year at Iowa State, which finished 22-13 last season after winning only two games the year before. He lost his top three scorers, but he has replaced them with some talented transfers. St. John's will be playing its first true road game and it will be going up against a tough Iowa State defense that is allowing just a .375 field goal percentage overall and .270 from 3-point range. Take Iowa State.
