The Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions have had a rough schedule up to this point, and they’ve hung around with some respectable teams for the most part. The Iowa State Cyclones are obviously the more talented team here, but you do have to question just how motivated they are for this one with a date with Creighton on Saturday. Possible look ahead spot for the Cyclones. Give me APB and the boatload of free buckets.
