Arizona vs Iowa State basketball live updates: Score, highlights for Big 12 game The Arizona Wildcats and Iowa State Cyclones meet up in a top-10 men's college basketball game on Monday. Follow live updates.
MARCH 3 • USATODAY.COM
Anthony Rise - Doesn't suit up Monday Rise (undisclosed) didn't play in Monday's loss to Arizona.
Impact Rise was a game-time call for this matchup, but in the end, the freshman guard didn't suit up. His absence wasn't a big deal from a fantasy perspective, as he's made just eight appearances overall in 2025-26. It remains to be seen if he'll play against Arizona State on Saturday, March 7.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Xzavion Mitchell - Doesn't play once again Mitchell (undisclosed) didn't play in Monday's loss to Arizona.
Impact Mitchell hasn't suited up for Iowa State since Dec. 21 despite being listed on the injury report on a steady basis. It remains to be seen if he'll be cleared to play in the regular-season finale against Arizona State on March 7.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Jamarion Batemon - Tallies 14 off bench in loss Batemon notched 14 points (5-14 FG, 4-10 3Pt) and one assist across 27 minutes during Monday's 73-57 loss to Arizona.
Impact Batemon drained four from downtown, tallying 14 points off the bench as the Cyclones fell in their trip to Arizona. The freshman wing did not have the most efficient performance, hoisting a season-high 14 shots, but was one of the few players to show signs of life offensively against the Wildcats. Batemon has been a capable-if-inconsistent scorer this season but has started to make a more consistent offensive footprint of late, reaching double figures four times in the last six games after having done so five times through his first 24 appearances.

Last Night in College Basketball: Ohio State Upsets Purdue, Big Ten Chaos Ensues
Xzavion Mitchell - GTD Monday Mitchell (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against Arizona.
Impact As usual, Mitchell goes from doubtful on the preliminary report to a game-time call. Despite the uncertain status, it would be surprising to see Mitchell play, as he hasn't appeared in a game since Dec. 21.
MARCH 2 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Rise - Game-time call Monday Rise (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Monday's game against Arizona.
Impact Rise was labeled doubtful, then a game-time call before missing Iowa State's most recent game, and he may be on the track to do so once again Monday. His availability will have minimal impact on the rotation, as he has appeared in just eight games this season.

No. 16 Texas Tech ends No. 4 Iowa State's home winning streak, 82-73

Donovan Atwell scored 18 points to lead No. 16 Texas Tech to an 82-73 victory over No. 4 Iowa State that sent the Cyclones to their first home loss of the season
FEBRUARY 28 • Associated Press
Joshua Jefferson - Historic season continues Jefferson finished with 22 points (6-14 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 8-10 FT), five rebounds, five assists and five steals across 34 minutes during Saturday's 82-73 loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Jefferson filled out the box score with 22 points, five boards, fives assists, the 16th time this season he's scored in double figures while adding at least five and five and the fourth time he's done so when scoring at least 20. The senior forward, who has reached double figures in scoring in every game this season, also added a season-high five steals to go along with the rest of his impressive stat line. For the season, Jefferson is currently averaging 16.8 points, 7.4 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.6 steals. If he finishes the season with those numbers, he'll be the first Big 12 player and only the sixth Division 1 player over the past 51 years to match or surpass those figures.

Anthony Rise - DNP Saturday Rise (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Rise has seen very few minutes across seven appearances this season. Even if active, Rise is not expected to be a contributor in the rotation this season.
FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Xzavion Mitchell - DNP Saturday Mitchell (undisclosed) did not play in Saturday's loss to Texas Tech.
Impact Mitchell has not seen the floor since Dec. 21 as he continues to be sidelined with an undisclosed injury. He'll have two more chances to suit up before the team heads into postseason play.
FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Xzavion Mitchell - Officially game-time call Mitchell (undisclosed) is listed as a game-time call Saturday against Texas Tech.
Impact While he hasn't yet been ruled out, Mitchell seems unlikely to play after he was listed as doubtful Friday. The freshman's last appearance for the Cyclones came on Dec. 21.
FEBRUARY 28 • ROTOWIRE
Anthony Rise - Deemed game-time call Rise (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Saturday's game against Texas Tech.
Impact Rise was listed as doubtful on Iowa State's initial injury report, but he may see how he feels during warmups before a decision is made on his availability. Regardless, Rise is averaging just 1.3 minutes in his eight appearances this season, so his status won't have much of an impact.
