Iowa State also tends to get a little extra rowdy during white out games, and this happens to be one of those. Hilton Coliseum will be a hornets nest.

Arizona State just suffered a major injury on the offensive side of the ball so with Jordyn Tyson out, will it open an opportunity for Iowa State to claim their first Big 12 championship?
