The Cyclones may be the best 1-8 team of the "Big Six conferences." Partially because Iowa State is the only 1-8 team and coach Fred Hoiberg has done a good job with this team. Iowa State begins a tough stretch tonight as its next four games are against the four ranked teams in the conference; three of them are on the road.
