We had a fun weekend in Ames hosting the GLEKS Christmas party. The Gleasons, Lacinas, and grandma Becky all came over for the weekend (although most had to stay at a nearby hotel since we don't have a lot of sleeping space at the house).
During our get-together we had a gift exchange, played lots of games (pig it and hog it, Secret Hitler, Hues and Cues, spoons), and we had lots of good food. Yesterday we went out to Hickory Park, and today we ordered Pizza Pit. We also had a foreign exchange student (Thomas) stop by for most of it.
This afternoon most of us went over to Hilton for the ISU men's basketball game against the Florida A&M Rattlers. The Saltons, Gleasons, and Thomas all went to the game. This was Nolan's 32nd men's basketball game, and it was Maxwell's 27th game. This was actually the second time that Maxwell and I have seen Iowa State play the Rattlers, as Florida A&M had upset the Cyclones back in 2019.
As for today's game, I would say that Tamin Lipsey was the player of the game, although it was a close call between him and Tre King. Lipsey led the team with 19 points (including going 5-7 from three) and added 5 assists. Tre King had a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds. They were joined in double figures scoring for the Cyclones by Milan Momcilovic (14), Jackson Paveletzke (13), and Keshon Gilbert (10).
