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 mid- dle 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 “We know, at the end of the day, that this place is a magical place.” Nikki Moody Illustration by Morgan Walgamuth/ Photo by Brian Achenbach Monday, Jan. 13, 2014 | Volume 209 | Number 76 | 40 cents | iowastatedaily.com | An independent student newspaper serving Iowa State since 1890. 2 | NEWS | Iowa State Daily | Monday, Jan. 13, 2014 Editor: Katelynn McCollough | [email protected] | 515.294.2003 Weather MON Partly sunny and breezy, 22|33 chance of snow.
