## Resource

Iowa State Cyclones’ future hangs in the balance as Milan Momcilovich’s decision day approaches. Could the Cyclones be stronger without their sharpshooting star, or does his return tip the scales in their pursuit of a Big 12 title? Nick Marovets breaks down Milan Momcilovich’s NBA and transfer portal scenarios, evaluating potential landing spots like Kentucky, Arizona, and Texas Tech. Key discussion points include TJ Otzelberger’s revamped roster, depth from key returners like Killian Torre and Jamari Bateman, and the rise of incoming transfers and freshmen. The episode tackles whether Iowa State needs Momcilovich’s elite three-point shooting—or if a team-first, balanced attack could push the Cyclones to a Sweet 16 or Elite Eight run regardless. Is Momcilovich’s return worth a big NIL investment, or is it time for Iowa State to forge a new identity? Join the debate and discover what’s next for Cyclone basketball.
