AmberAbyss+FollowKansas stuns Iowa State with statement winKansas handed Iowa State a reality check, dominating the No. 2-ranked Cyclones 84-63 in a game that felt one-sided from the jump.

Coach Otzelberger didn’t sugarcoat it—he called it an “absolute beatdown” and credited Kansas for their intensity. This loss shakes up the rankings, likely dropping Iowa State from their near-No. 1 spot, while Kansas is set to climb back into the top 20.

Dawn Fritz+FollowIowa State’s season on the brink: Can the Cyclones recover?Four straight losses have put Iowa State women’s basketball in a tough spot, and the pressure is on. With Addy Brown still sidelined and teams locking down Audi Crooks, the Cyclones suddenly look like a bubble team instead of a tournament lock. The math is simple but daunting: they likely need at least seven more wins to feel safe for March Madness, but nothing’s coming easy. If the supporting cast can’t step up, especially in must-win games like the upcoming Cincinnati matchup, this season could slip away fast. What do you think it’ll take for ISU to turn things around? #Sports #IowaState #Cyclones00Share
