As Iowa State gears up for tonight’s 6 p.m. tipoff against Colorado, the final injury report brings mostly good news for the Cyclones.
The only confirmed absence is Mason Williams, who remains sidelined for the season after undergoing preseason surgery. That’s been the expectation for a while now, and nothing has changed on that front.
The one name to keep an eye on is freshman Xzavion Mitchell, who’s listed as a game-time decision. Mitchell hasn’t seen the floor since December 21 and has played sparingly this season - just seven appearances, averaging a little over three minutes per game. His role has been limited, but his availability could still add some depth if Iowa State needs to mix things up during the game.
On the Colorado side, it’s a clean bill of health. No players are listed as out or questionable, meaning the Buffaloes will be at full strength heading into this matchup.
Here’s the final availability breakdown:
Iowa State - Out:
- Mason Williams
Iowa State - Game-time decision:
- Xzavion Mitchell
Colorado - No reported injuries
With both teams mostly healthy, this one sets up to be a full-strength showdown - and that’s exactly what you want in a late-January matchup with conference implications looming.
