25. Iowa State Cyclones

Previous Ranking: 20

Record: 5-2

Iowa State almost never loses at home. That made their OT upset against Cincinnati all the more surprising. As bad as they looked against the Bearcats, the Cyclones still have plenty of talent to challenge for a top three finish in the Big 12.

Monte Morris has been the show in Ames this season. The senior All-American guard is putting up 15.9 points, 4.7 rebounds and 5.9 assists through seven games. He is getting some help, but this team needs to shoot better than 32 percent from deep, which would be their lowest mark since 31 percent in 2007-2008.
