No. 4 Texas vs. Iowa State: Game thread

Just days removed from arguably the biggest win of the Shaka Smart era — an 84-59 road win over then-No. 3 Kansas — the Texas Longhorns are back home and back in action against the Iowa State Cyclones.

Texas enters this matchup ranked No. 4 nationally with an 8-1 record and 2-0 mark in Big 12 play. Iowa State, on the other hand, hasn’t exactly enjoyed a successful start to the season at 2-5 and 0-3 in league action.

Unsurprisingly, the Longhorns own an 84.2 percent chance to win entering the contest, per ESPN’s BPI.

Tip-off between Texas and Iowa State is set for 7 p.m. CT on Longhorn Network.
