HCyclone Alley hasn’t yet found their collective seats. The band hasn’t yet begun playing its tune of “Iowa State Fights!” There, in the middle of the place “Hilton Magic” once formed, so loud that the very floor and rims shook, a spotlight shines down on center court. The spotlight is as bright as ever. “We know, at the end of the day, that this place is a magical place,” said junior guard Nikki Moody about Hilton. This season, the storyline has not been solely about men’s basketball, nor has it been only about women’s basketball. The spotlight, the talk, has been collective. The storyline: Iowa State basketball. The talk started slow, but as records fell, and as Iowa State became the only school remaining with both teams undefeated, it grew louder. Hilton is on center stage. Iowa State basketball is as popular as ever before. >> page 10

By Danielle.Ferguson @iowastatedaily.com

The race for Congress made a pit stop in Ames. Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames, hosted Staci Appel, a democrat from Ackworth, Iowa, at his home Friday night as part of her campaign fundraising. Appel could possibly be the first woman from Iowa elected to Congress. “Unfortunately, most of what running for Congress is about is raising money,” Appel said. Appel announced she was running for federal office in July 2013 and has since then raised $500,000. Appel said the campaign goal is to reach about $3.5 million. Endorsements from Planned Parenthood and Emily’s List, which both support pro-choice women candidates, have helped her campaign, Appel said. Iowa is one of only two states that have not elected a woman to federal office, the other being Blake Lanser/Iowa State Daily Mississippi, Quirmbach Staci Appel speaks with supporters Jan. 9.
