As with most season opening games, there are a number of new faces to get used to on the team. A pair of transfers started the game for Iowa State, including Joshua Jefferson (transfer from Saint Mary's) and Dishon Jackson (transfer from Charlotte). I thought they both looked good in their first action as Cyclones. I would say that Tamin Lipsey was the player of the game for Iowa State, as he had 16 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals. Lipsey was joined in double figures scoring by Keshon Gilbert (17), Joshua Jefferson (10), and Milan Momcilovic (10).
Tonight marks the 32nd time that Maxwell has attended an Iowa State men's basketball game. Recently I had looked back on previous blog posts and discovered that I had actually been off on my count of Maxwell's basketball games, so after double checking this is number 32 for him. I gave him the choice today of getting a clone cone, a soda, candy, or popcorn to enjoy at the game... and he went with popcorn.
As for myself, this is the 5th time that I have watched the Cyclones take on the Delta Devils. Previous games were: 2019, 2016, 2014, and 2011. Another thing that I would like to note is that they updated the jumbotron and ribbon boards inside of Hilton. It all looks very nice, but they did take out the old corner scoreboards that I liked to take pictures beside at the end of games. I settled for a different scoreboard picture today...
