On a chilly February night inside the friendly confines of James H. Hilton Coliseum, Iowa State fans had their hearts ripped out in a bizarre and terrible way.
The 2012-2013 Iowa State Basketball Team included names like Babb, Lucious, Clyburn, and of course, Niang and Ejim. Dating back to the year prior, Iowa State had won 22 straight home games, and were looking to add another notch on their belt. Who stood in their way?
Kansas arrived in Ames carrying an overall record of 23-4. They were 11-3 in the Big 12 and looked every bit the part of, well, any typical good Kansas team: Great guards, a lock-down defender, a super-duper freshman star, and of course, Perry Ellis (Also Kevin Young played).
