Iowa State hits the ground running against top-tier Arizona in a high-stakes January showdown, facing a potential ranked opponent without key sophomore guard Killyan Toure—expected back just in time for conference play. Last year’s brutal loss in Tucson contrasts with a nail-biter in the Big 12 tournament, setting the stage for a rematch with major implications. Both teams have shaken up their rosters, but talent remains high, making this one of six single-game matchups against Big 12 newcomers—including BYU and Utah—with Iowa State holding home-court advantage at Hilton Coliseum.

Arizona Wildcats are poised for a historic 2027 NCAA Tournament run, projected as a top seed in the West by ESPN’s Joe Lunardi—thanks to their Final Four breakthrough last year and a loaded roster featuring returning stars Mo Krivas and Ivan Kharchenkov, plus elite freshmen like Caleb Holt and Cameron Holmes. But with key players sidelined and thin backcourt depth, the pressure is on. They open against UCLA in Vegas and could face a play-in winner in Sacramento. With the Big Twelve expected to dominate the field thanks to tournament expansion, Arizona’s season promises high stakes, big names, and plenty of drama.

Big Monday is back, and BYU’s got a major showdown against Arizona on Feb 22 at 9 PM ET—this rematch could be huge. With ESPN celebrating its 31st year of the tradition, top teams like Arizona, Houston, and Kansas are playing twice this season. BYU, led by coach Kevin Young in his third year, returns with a loaded roster: they kept star point guard Rob Wright (18 PPG) and added elite wing Bruce Branch. After falling in the NCAA first round last year, they’re reloading for another deep tournament run.
