When Iowa State took the floor in Tuesday's consolation round against Dayton, Gilbert shined once again and got late-game redemption. He posted his second-straight 20-point game, but he also had a clutch series of plays over the final minute to give the fifth-ranked Cyclones a hard-fought 89-84 win against the feisty Flyers.

The biggest separator of these teams is the level of competition each team has faced to this point. Auburn holds a win over the KenPom’s No. 1 team, Houston, while Iowa State’s best win is Kansas City, which ranks No. 236 in the KenPom entering Monday’s action.

Iowa State saw its 18-point lead evaporate in the second half, as Auburn rallied and won with a last-second tip-in during the Maui Invitational.
