The fifth ranked Iowa State men take lofty expectations into Monday night’s season opener at home against Mississippi Valley State. The Cyclones have their top four scorers back from last year’s team that played in the Sweet Sixteen.
That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger who says there is a lot to learn in an opener.
Senior guard Curtis Jones says The Cyclones are ready for the opener.
Jones says the Cyclones have high hopes for the season.
Six-11 Charlotte transfer Dishon Jackson is ready for his Hilton Coliseum debut.
The Iowa Hawkeye men open the new basketball season Monday night by hosting Texas A@M Commerce. After averaging nearly nine points per game last season junior guard Josh Dix is expected to have an even bigger impact this season.
Dix says Hawkeye coach Fran McCaffery has encouraged him to be more aggressive on offense.
It will be a short week for the Iowa football team as the Hawkeyes get ready for Friday night’s game at UCLA. In his first start at quarterback Brendan Sullivan led the Hawkeyes to a 42-10 win over Wisconsin. The Hawkeyes had 329 yards of rushing and in just over six quarters of action Sullivan had directed the offense to 10 touchdowns.
That’s Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz. Sullivan passed for only 93 yards but had a scoring pass. He also rushed for 58 yards and touchdown and Ferentz says his mobility is a plus.
Iowa State falls six spots to 17th in the latest AP College Football Poll. Texas Tech scored a touchdown in the waning seconds to stun ISU 23-22 and spoiling their bid for the first 8-0 start in program history.
That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell who is confident his team will respond after the loss.
Eight penalties and two turnovers hurt Iowa State’s cause.
The Cyclones play Kansas in Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.
