The Iowa State men suffered their first loss of 2025 this past weekend, losing at West Virginia. Unable to get going on the offensive end, the Cyclones fell for the first time since a November defeat to top-ranked Auburn at the Maui Invitational.

West Virginia delivered one of the biggest upsets of the college basketball season with a 64-57 win at home over No. 2 Iowa State on Saturday. The Cyclones entered the weekend having won their last 12 games -- the longest active winning streak in the country-- before the Mountaineers snapped it.

West Virginia fans stormed the court and joined the players in singing John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
