UMKC vs Iowa State Prediction

The UM Kansas City Roos haven’t played anybody through two games and that could be a problem heading into this spot. There’s a massive step-up in competition. The Iowa State Cyclones are one of the best teams in the country with legit title hopes, as they bring back much of last year’s key players and bring in strong players as well. I’m not trying to step in front of the Cyclones. This team is stacked and usually blows teams out at home. We should expect more of the same tonight.
