Iowa State’s men’s basketball team just shot up from 17th to 7th in the national power rankings, and it’s not just because they’re undefeated. Even without star guard Tamin Lipsey, the Cyclones pulled off gutsy wins over St. John’s, Creighton, and Syracuse, with senior Joshua Jefferson stepping up big time and earning Big 12 Player of the Week honors. The team’s depth and resilience are turning heads. Next up: a huge test against Purdue. Can the Cyclones keep the streak alive? What’s impressed you most about this squad so far? #Sports #IowaState #Cyclones
