    Feb 3 2026
    Chris Williams welcomes longtime Division I coach and ESPN+ analyst Derrin Hansen to The CW Pod for a deep dive into Iowa State basketball. As the Cyclones enter the most challenging stretch of their Big 12 schedule, Hansen breaks down why Iowa State is playing at such a high level, what makes T.J. Otzelberger’s defensive system so effective, and how this team is coming together at the right time. The conversation focuses on defensive philosophy, player development, lineup balance, and what Iowa State needs to do to reach its ceiling in March. This is a detailed, basketball-centric discussion focused on how Iowa State wins, not just the results.
