I just got back from Hilton Coliseum where I was able to enjoy watching the ranked Iowa State Cyclones (#17 AP poll, #18 USA Today Coaches Poll) dominate in a 99-70 victory over the Auburn Tigers.  Now, I understand that Auburn is not very good this year, but it was still a solid victory over a team from the SEC.  It's starting to look like Iowa State will have a very good non-conference resume come selection Sunday in March :)

As for the game, Dustin Hogue was clearly the player of the game for the Cyclones.  He was a monster on the boards and had himself a double-double before halftime.  His final stats included 22 points (on 8 for 10 shooting), 16 rebounds, an assist, and a steal.  Other Cyclones in double figures scoring included Melvin Ejim (14), Matt Thomas (14), Monte Morris (12), and Naz Long (11).  It's nice to see so many different players for Iowa State are able to fill up the score sheet.

Gold uniforms again!

Cyclones win... almost 100 points!
