PROVO, Utah — The Iowa State Cyclones will face off against BYU for the first time Saturday since the Cougars joined the Big 12.

Matchup

This will be the first time the Cyclones and Cougars play against each other since the Cougars joined the Big 12. The two teams have played against each other only four times before, the last time in 1974, and ISU won all those games.

The Cyclones are favored to win by 7.5 points as of Friday evening.
