Iowa State basketball vs. Niagara 3 things to watch, prediction

Iowa State basketball takes on Niagara on Sunday, its last game before heading to Vegas for the Players Era Festival. Here's what to keep an eye on

Iowa State's basketball team will face Niagara in a November 15th match at Hilton Coliseum, with tip-off at 12 p.m. CT and televised on ESPN2. Niagara, the lower-ranked team, has struggled this season, recording three consecutive losses including a recent defeat to Bowling Green. Key factors to watch in this game include Niagara's international roster, featuring players from France, Italy, Spain, Argentina, Canada, Slovenia, and the Netherlands.

The team is led by Cincinnati-native Logan Woods, who is averaging 13.7 points and 5.0 rebounds per game, along with strong performances from Italian forward Samuele Miccoli, Argentinian forward Fidel Rotta, and French guard Bastien Rieber. On the other side, Iowa State boasts a frontcourt consisting of Tre Singleton, Dominykas Pleta, and Blake Buchanan, who have been dominant in rebounding and turnover battles.

The Cyclones will aim to leverage their height advantage and efficient play to secure another victory, setting the stage for their upcoming match against San Diego State on November 24th as part of the Players Era Festival.
