It is a new season and new challenge at Iowa State where the Cyclones host IUPUI tonight. The action gets underway from Hilton Coliseum at 7-p.m.

ISU has a handful of players returning from last year’s team that made a run to the Sweet-16 in T.J. Otzelberger’s first season at the helm.

And he says it is a different type of team.

Several freshmen and transfers will be counted on to play significant minutes.
