The Cyclones are next up.
It was a roller coaster of emotions for the BBN on Friday afternoon as the Kentucky Wildcats pulled off the improbable win over the Santa Clara Broncos in the Round of 64. Now, their focus shifts to the Iowa State Cyclones with a Sweet 16 berth on the line. A 2-seed in the year’s tournament, the Cyclones had an impressive season in Ames.
Finishing the year at 27-7 and 12-6 in the Big XII, they entered into postseason play with title aspirations, especially with Joshua Jefferson on the court.
