After taking care of business in their opening game of the season against Cleveland State the Cyclones looked to continue their winning ways against the Southern Jaguars in Hilton. These two teams faced off against each other last season with ISU coming away from the contest winning 96-55.
First Quarter
Iowa State struggled early on offense against Southern. The Cyclones dealt with missing layups (11) against Cleveland in their opener and had the same issue in the first quarter. The missed shots followed them outside of the arc, missing their first 9 threes until Nyamer Diew broke the cold streak by hitting on their tenth attempt.
