Iowa State’s three home-and-away opponents are Baylor, Kansas and Oklahoma State.
The Cyclones will host Arizona State, UCF, Colorado, Houston, Texas Tech and West Virginia.
Iowa State will travel to Arizona, BYU, Cincinnati, Kansas State, TCU and Utah.
This year’s conference schedule is designed for Big 12 teams to have three home-and-away series with league opponents. Every team in the conference will also have six home-only opponents and six road-only foes.
The Cyclones’ complete schedule, along with TV designations, dates and times, will be announced at a later date.
Last season, Iowa State finished 25-10 overall, losing to Ole Miss in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
