The #13 ranked Cyclones visit Manhattan hoping to rebound from their home loss to the Baylor Bears. The slip up against Baylor leaves Iowa State a full game back of Kansas for the top spot in the Big 12.
The Cyclones had a chance to better their tournament resume and add a signature win when they welcomed in the #19 Baylor Bears Wednesday night.

That plan however went south quickly as Baylor came in and dominated the Cyclones en route to a 9 point road victory. Now, with just 3 games left in the regular season, Iowa State cannot afford a slip up. They’re first task will be invading the arena at the center of the NCAA’s attention following a court storming.
Iowa State had a chance to jump into a first place tie with Kansas for 1st place in the Big 12. They’ll now need to win out and get some help if they hope to claim the overall number 1 seed for the Big 12 tournament. Regardless, winning out will give Iowa State a 23 win season with tournament play still to come.
The Cyclones are led by Junior F Georges Niang. Niang is scoring 14.6 points a game to go along with 5.4 rebounds a game. Niang scored 14 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in the loss against Baylor.
Georges Niang had the same stats in the Jan. 20th meeting with Kansas State when he put up 14 points and 6 rebounds. The Cyclones went on to win the game 77-71.
[dfads params=’groups=63727&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Iowa State brings in a 4-4 road record thus far.
The Wildcats are the center of attention following their upset home win against Kansas. However, it isn’t because they knocked off a top 10 opponent. Following a court rush, students bumped into numerous Kansas players and caused much more drama to overshadow the team’s big win.
With all that aside, the Wildcats sub .500 record will not be enough to get them into the NCAA tournament. With just 2 games remaining in the regular season, a win against Iowa State is an absolute must if Kansas State wants to impress the committee. A deep run into the Big 12 tournament is also a must.
The Wildcats are led by Sophomore G Marcus Foster. Foster is scoring 13.1 points a game so far in the 2014-2015 season. He’ll hope to have a similar game to the one the last time these two teams met as he went for 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists.
[dfads params=’groups=64759&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Kansas State has made it tough on road opponents this season. The Wildcats bring in an 11-4 S.U. home record. They’re averaging 65.1 points a game and allowing just 58.5.
It’s obvious that Kansas State is in a must win situation. That being said, they’re simply not an NCAA tournament caliber team.
Iowa State bounces back with a road win Saturday afternoon.

Garnett spent 12 seasons in a Twolves jersey, starting all the way back when he was 19 years old. Washington will need to avoid all distractions, as they’re hoping to put an end to their 4 game losing streak. This will mark the 2nd and final meeting between the teams, as Washington took the 1st one 109-95.
The Wizards struggles have come at the worst possible time. Losers of 4 in a row, Washington has seen their current skid hurt their playoff seeding. Now sitting 2.5 games behind Cleveland for the 4 seed, they are now just 1.5 games clear of Milwaukee for the 5 seed.

If they didn’t know it before this, Washington fans and players know just how important it is to have Bradley Beal in the lineup. Beal was averring 15.0 points prior to his leg injury. He’ll more than likely be out once again, which means somebody else will need to step up and take over for Washington.
F Paul Pierce tried to do just that last time out as he dropped in 25 points and grabbed 6 rebounds in the loss to Golden State. He’ll need to continue to have performances like that if the Wizards hope to not only just hold on to their 5th spot, but possible jump Cleveland for 4th.
G John Wall continues to impress as he dished out 11 assists and scored 16 points against the Warriors. Scoring will be a priority for him as Washington hopes to pick up the slack for Beal’s absence and missed 15 points a game.

The Timberwolves haven’t had much to cheer about this season. The most excitement they’ll endure will come Wednesday night when they pack the Target Center to welcome back F Kevin Garnett. With an expected sold out crowd to be on hand, the adrenaline will be flowing for both Garnett has his teammates.
While Minnesota has just 12 wins this season, they’ve gotten glimpses of their future. Andrew Wiggins showed some of his skills against Houston last time out. Wiggins scored 30 points in the near upset of Houston.
Fellow young teammate Gorgui Dieng also had a great game as he scored 7 points, dished out 4 assists and grabbed 14 rebounds.
It’s performances like those that are giving the Minnesota front office a reason to believe.
[dfads params=’groups=63741&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
PG Ricky Rubio has also been stellar since returning from his injury. Rubio nearly hit a triple-double against Houston as he scored 14 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists.
While the crowd will be rocking Wednesday night, this could serve as a bit of a distraction for the young Twolves team.
Washington 110, Minnesota 103
Expect the Wizards to bring their A game, as they need to put a stop to their losing ways and get back in the win column as they continue to their playoff push. Washington wins outright Wednesday night.
