Just like last week, Iowa State will enter its game Feb. 2 looking for a rebound win.

The ISU men’s basketball team (14-6, 4-3 Big 12) fell to the bottom half of the Big 12 on Jan. 30 following a loss to Oklahoma State. The Cyclones will return to Hilton Coliseum on Feb. 2, where they have won 18 consecutive games, but the schedule won’t let up.

As the first of two games in three days, Baylor (14-6, 5-2) will visit on Feb. 2. Baylor lost by three points on Jan. 30 to Oklahoma, which Iowa State will play Feb. 4 in Ames.

The games with the Bears and Sooners will complete the Cyclones’ first half of the conference schedule, and both will be key in the team’s Big 12 standing. Currently, Iowa State finds itself in sixth place in the Big 12, and both Baylor and Oklahoma sit ahead of the team.

After the 78-76 loss Jan. 30, the Cyclones again will be seeking a big bounce-back victory.

“This group has bounced back all year after tough losses and I’m confident we’ll bounce back again,” said ISU coach Fred Hoiberg following the loss to Oklahoma State. “We have a big opportunity in front of us on Saturday.”

Baylor acted as a big victory for Iowa State last season when it came to Hilton in March. The Cyclones beat the No. 9 Bears to help bolster their NCAA tournament resume late in the season.

Iowa State and Baylor are the two top scoring offenses in the Big 12 so far this season. The Cyclones are averaging 78.4 points per game while the Bears average 76 points per game.

Baylor is led in scoring by Pierre Jackson, who also leads the conference in scoring. Jackson is averaging 18.8 points per game and is third in the Big 12 averaging 2.47 3-pointers per game.

Tipoff on Feb. 2 is scheduled for 7 p.m. and is part of a men’s and women’s basketball doubleheader at Hilton. The Cyclones will take on Oklahoma at 6 p.m. Feb. 4.
