Tonight I was able to attend the Cyclones 84-78 triumph over that team out east, the miserable, no-good Hawkeyes. This was the third time that I have watched the Cy-Hawk basketball game in person, and I am glad to say that the Cyclones are 3-0 in those games. The previous games I have seen were back in 2015 and 2013. It always makes my heart happy to defeat the hoks, especially since it means I will not have to hear any smack talk from them about basketball for the next year.
Lindell Wigginton was the player of the game for Iowa State. I have a feeling that I will be typing that quite a bit this year. Our phenomenal freshman guard scored a game-high 24 points, including going 4-8 from three point range. He was joined in double-figures scoring by Nick Weiler-Babb (15) and Donovan Jackson (12). The Hawkeyes actually led by 5 points at halftime (36-41), before the Cyclones outscored them by 11 in the second half. One fun thing that I will remember about the game is that there were foam light sticks on every seat in the arena, which added to the fun atmosphere.
