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 — currently 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 43 Cyclones have been drafted to the NBA, including 11 first-round picks. Olympic gold medalist Tyrese Haliburton, 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. Iowa State is currently coached by T.J. Otzelberger, who led the Cyclones to a conference tournament championship in 2024 and two Sweet Sixteen runs during March Madness in 2022 and 2024.

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.

    Couldn't have asked for a more exciting game. Great to see the effects of Hilton Magic. Always a good game when you beat a top 10 team. The seniors went out in style.

  • Cyclones Rock!

    by Ozfan41 on 2/13/12Iowa State Cyclones - Hilton Coliseum - AmesRating: 5 out of 5

    I've been attending Cyclone basketball for at least 60 years, starting with the old Armory floor that ran north and south (we had to walk past all the big gray guns to get to it). So what's not to love about watching the Cyclones annihilate an opponent - and at Hilton, to boot??? Life rarely gets better...

  • by Anonymous on 1/13/12Iowa State Cyclones - Hilton Coliseum - AmesRating: 5 out of 5

    A great time. The Cyclones put on a great show! I highly recommend it.

    by JohnnyBigRigger on 1/11/12Iowa State Cyclones - Hilton Coliseum - AmesRating: 4 out of 5

    Enjoyed the game! We were quite happy with these seats and felt close to the action. Hilton is a great venue to watch B-ball!

  • wow!

    by djalam on 1/10/12Iowa State Cyclones - Hilton Coliseum - AmesRating: 5 out of 5

    The crowd is amazing! I love the enthusism of the students and do appreciate how they get the crowd involved. Words to describe the pep band is impossible. They are Great! I love the up beat that they play and they, too, help to get the crowd involved. the players are doing the best they can and the whole experience is wonderful. To describe to others the fun of Hilton Magic is something that you have to be there to experience what Hilton Magic truly is.To get tickets is so easy and I love the idea that I can print them off in less than a minute. Life is good and especially good if it is a day that I get to watch the ISU men play. I wish them only the best throughtout the season.

  • Last 5 minutes

    by Milkmaid76 on 1/3/12Iowa State Cyclones - Hilton Coliseum - AmesRating: 3 out of 5

    Great day, but be careful of those last 5 minutes - getting outcoached not only today but every game. Plus, need to find assistant coach to handle the "under the basket" drills. We love Hoiberg, but just needs assistants that can compliment his strengths and help him grow in coaching the last minutes of the game.

  • LOVE ISU BASKETBALL

    by Pete52 on 12/20/11Iowa State Cyclones - Hilton Coliseum - AmesRating: 5 out of 5

    Great Game, Seats were awesome, right by the men's locker room so we could "high-five" the players coming on and off the court. Fun afternoon.
