Fresh off another perfect week, the Iowa State men are now a consensus No. 3 team in the country.
While the Cyclones (17-2) remained third in the latest AP Poll, they moved ahead of Alabama to that spot in the Coaches Poll.

Iowa State, who takes on Arizona Monday night, scored a key win on the road against Arizona State this past weekend.
