College basketball schedule: Cyclones win battle for Hawkeye State

Colorado out-muscled mid-major Elon in Boulder Friday night, out-rebounding the Phoenix en route to an 80-63 win. The Buffaloes had four players reach double figures and won the rebounding battle, 54-27.

With the win, Colorado improves to 10-1 on the season. The Buffaloes will play No. 7 Oklahoma State and Georgia to close out the non-conference season. The Cowboys should be wary, as Colorado has already knocked off Kansas in an upset win earlier this month.

With exam week in full swing around the country, not many teams have been in action these last few days. Friday features a relatively light slate as well, but college basketball fans will still be treated to a good one.

After a couple ranked teams take the court earlier in the evening, all eyes will turn to the Hawkeye State at 9:30 p.m. for a showdown between No. 23 Iowa and No. 17 Iowa State in Ames.
