BASKETBALL CYCLONE Freshmen lead theSTATE way BY BRIAN.MOZEY There was 9:46 left in the game and Iowa State was up 61-57 @iowastatedaily.com trying to extend its lead.

Then, Cameron Lard did what he does best. That’s getting the sellout fans in Hilton Coliseum out of their seats. IOWA STATE A bounce pass into the paint from senior Hans Brase found redshirt freshman Lard right by the basket. Lard grabbed the ball and found his way through multiple Iowa defenders to reach the hoop. He threw the ball into the net and held onto the rim, while 84 one of the referees blew his whistle and signaled for a foul. When Lard landed back onto the floor, he looked straight at IOWA the student section and screamed in celebration. After that point in the game, Iowa State never looked back. The Cyclones kept that lead and defeated Iowa 84-78 in the annual Cy-Hawk Series game at Hilton Coliseum. A place where the Hawkeyes haven’t won in since 2003. “Great win and really proud of our guys,” said coach Steve 78 Prohm. “I know these guys made a lot of people happy tonight and that’s what it’s all about.” Iowa State couldn’t get its fast-pace tempo going in the first half because Iowa was out-rebounding the Cyclones 28-18, while also taking an 11-4 advantage on the offensive boards. Due to this lack of rebounding, Iowa State had zero fast break points, but was able to keep it close down 41-36 at the half. Just like the Northern Illinois game, the Cyclones came out slightly cold, missing the first three of four shots. Then, the trio of guards made their impact. First, a jumper by senior Donovan Jackson. Then, a layup and 3-pointer by redshirt junior Nick Weiler-Babb. Finally, with 16:38 left in the second half, freshman Lindell MIKINNA KERNS/ IOWA STATE DAILY Wigginton was hit by an Iowa defender underneath the basket.

Shooting: 3-5 Iowa was one of the biggest non-conference games for Iowa State on its schedule. A win against the Hawkeyes and its sixth straight win of the season, the Cyclones are taking steps to preparing for the Big 12 regular season starting in three weeks. “We kind of see where we’re at now,” Weiler-Babb said. “We grow every day. This was a big time win for us so we got to enjoy it tonight… then we got to start a whole new day.” For Wigginton, it was his first time playing in the Cy-Hawk rivalry and his 24 points helped boost the Cyclones to victory. For him, it was an atmosphere unlike any other. The only problem for him is that he has to shave his afro now. Prohm said that if Iowa State won the game, Wigginton bet he would shave his hair, so a new hairstyle is coming for the freshman guard. “It was crazy [in Hilton Coliseum]. I’ve never heard [that noise] ever in my life,” Wigginton said. “I was loving it though. I don’t usually get hyped, but I was getting hyped.” LIFESTYLE
