Iowa State basketball plays UConn for the Phil Knight Invitational title. Here's how to watch.
Iowa State's overtime win over Villanova looked like it might go down as a signature win on the Cyclones' 2022-23 resume.
Then, the Cyclones topped it the very next day with a comeback win over No. 1 North Carolina, which quickly became the biggest story in college hoops.
After an off-day Saturday, Iowa State is heading to Sunday's championship game of the Phil Knight Invitational, where it will take on Connecticut. UConn knocked off Alabama, 82-67, in the other semifinal Friday night to clinch the other spot in the championship game.
Here's how you can watch the Cyclones play for the Phil Knight Invitational championship.
