A highly anticipated season is approaching for the Iowa State men’s basketball team. Ranked fifth in the AP preseason poll, the Cyclones open at home Monday night against Mississippi Valley State. ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger says the Cyclones are focused on what it takes to be successful on game day.

Otzelberger says a key for every team is how it handles success and deals with adversity.

Otzelberger says adversity is coming and how the Cyclones handle it will have a lot to say about their season.

The Cyclones have their top four scores back from last year’s team that made it to the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament.
