Iowa State Cyclones Men's Basketball History

The Iowa State Cyclones played their first men’s basketball game in 1907. The team has been affiliated with an intercollegiate conference — today the Big 12 — since the NCAA formed in 1910, when the Cyclones' conference was known as the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association. 

A total of 41 Cyclones have gone on to become professional basketball players, including 18 Top 10 draft picks. Olympic bronze medalist Jeff Grayer and Ames native Fred Hoiberg are among Iowa State’s alumni, and the latter returned after a 10-year career in the NBA as the Cyclones’ coach, winning the Big 12 twice and Big 12 Coach of the Year in 2012.

The Cyclones have a long-running in-state rivalry with the University of Iowa Hawkeyes, which encompasses all sports and is known as the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series. The annual Hy-Vee Classic, named for the local supermarket chain, features Iowa State challenging Drake and Northern Iowa in alternate years. The Cyclones' closest Big 12 Conference rivals are the Kansas Jayhawks. Iowa State is currently coached by T.J. Otzelberger.

    Hilton Magic

    by hiphopanonymouss on 12/13/17Iowa State Cyclones - Hilton Coliseum - Ames

    Hilton Coliseum is one of the best places to watch a college basketball game in the nation. The acoustics lend to crowd noise being amplified, and when Iowa State is winning it gets noisy. Be sure to try a walking taco and a Clone Cone.

    Iowa State was a little flat in the first half. Made for a competitive game for Southern University. I really expected ISU to outscore them the whole game.
