The Series
Dating back to 1908, Kansas leads the all-time series with Iowa State, 160-58, yet recent history shows the
KU-
ISU clashes to be much more competitive. Last year's series sweep of Iowa State by
KU was the first in three seasons. Since 1999,
KU has a 9-7 edge over the Cyclones. Four of the last six meetings have been decided by seven points or less with two of those going into overtime - both in Lawrence. Including season sweeps, the visiting team has claimed at least one victory seven times in the last seven seasons - dating back to 2000. Last year, Kansas came away with a 95-85 win in Ames and an 88-75 victory in Lawrence. Iowa State holds a slight 18-16 advantage in games played in Hilton Coliseum, yet Kansas has won the last two and four of the last five in the building.
KU holds a 13-7 edge against Iowa State in Big 12 league play and a 15-7 mark since the inception of the conference.
