LAS VEGAS —
The Iowa State men's basketball team hasn't yet faced much resistance en route to a perfect 4-0 record. Its closest game was a 16-point win over Mississippi State in which the Cyclones led by 25 with 6 minutes to go before coasting to the finish line.
That could change in a hurry.
The Cyclones will be part of a loaded field of teams at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas. The event runs from Monday, Nov. 24 through Thanksgiving Day, with all 18 teams in the field scheduled to play three games.
