Summary
Iowa State Cyclones are firing on all cylinders ahead of the 2026-27 season, with Coach T.J. Otzelberger assembling a squad primed for a deep run. They’ve trimmed their non-conference schedule for maximum impact, opening with a Nov. 2 showdown against Memphis in Sioux Falls, followed by home games against Southern Miss, Southern, Niagara, Alcorn State, and North Carolina Central — plus a high-stakes trip to Las Vegas for the Players Era tournament. A key early test? Facing San Diego State in Vegas before returning home. With a balanced mix of manageable matchups and tough challenges — including the road game against Iowa — this slate is designed to build momentum. The Vegas tournament, especially, will be the true litmus test — and if they can pull off a strong start, this could be the year Iowa State makes noise nationally under Otzelberger’s leadership.
