Ah yes, the annual Cy-Hawk Hardwood Showdown. The two teams took their frustrations out on lesser opponents on Monday and took some time to tune up for their in-state rivals.
Monte Morris and Matt Thomas are looking to put the finishing touches on a perfect career record against Iowa, while Nazareth Mitrou-Long looks to move to 4-1 against the Hawks in his victory lap (see feature image above).

Monday night served as a “get right” game for the Cyclones as they cashed in 15 threes in a dominant win over Omaha.
