Iowa State needs to find a reset button of sorts before the start of Big 12 play, or this could turn into a long season. This team has looked like a night-and-day difference with the one that took Stanford to the ropes on the road last year.

The Bulldogs got out to a hot start and fended off Kansas State in overtime to remain undefeated on the year.

Mitch Mascari went 6-6 from deep in the first half, while Bennett_Stirtz cashed Drake's check late

Bulldogs start 10-0 and are 1/5 undefeated's

Rough waters so far in Uncasville. Cyclones have got to find a reset before Big 12 play

Four and a half minutes in and Drake is out to a 9-0 lead on K-State.

Ben McCollum's squad has Jerome Tang in a bind. Dogs are (still) playing great ball.

This referee is yelling into the microphone louder than a disgruntled employee at a nursing home.

According to a transfer portal tracking Twitter account (@CollegeFBPortal), K-State's leading wide receive, Jayce Brown, has entered the transfer portal.

He's 657 yards on 39 receptions this season.

Keshon Gilbert might be the coldest dude to wear No. 10 since Ricky Rudd in the Tide car.

Nojus Indrusaitis is not afraid to take the ball to the rim. Impressive stuff from the true freshman.

I never thought I'd see an Iowa State crowd chant "Kill" repeatedly while the Cyclones wore fauxback uniforms in a game played in Maui but that is what we're seeing and it is magical. #ThankYouCBB

I cannot overstate how good Dishon Jackson has been when he's on the floor tonight. Wow.

An Auburn player just threw the ball off of Keshon Gilbert's head and is now at the line shooting free throws.

We have a major officiating problem in college basketball.

Dylan Cardwell just obviously and emphatically embellished a foul call with minimal contact that was reviewed for over 60 seconds and then called a flagrant.

The massive officiating problem in college basketball continues.

It's unrealistic to expect or see a team play like that for that long this early in the year - more of a point about how good they played but I do agree with you

If Iowa State plays like that for the next 100 minutes, it will be No. 1 on Monday at noon.

Keshon Gilbert continues to surprise me and he probably shouldn't but at this point I'm ready to say he's elite.

Can y'all imagine a hockey ref hearing a complaint about a bad call he made, and then giving the other team a penalty shot?

Absolutely not, because it's ludicrous! The ref culture in Basketball has a problem!!

UConn and Memphis coming down to the final moments on ESPN2.

Former Cyclone Tyrese Hunter has 17 and this dude named Dane Dainja (pronounced like danger) is going off. Fun game in the Maui opener.
