The Cyclones just took on the 16th ranked Pirates from Seton Hall for the second time in three games, this time in an out of conference showdown.
The first big home game of the season caused a sloppy start for Iowa State offensively. Fortunately Seton Hall was not much better and Iowa State only trailed 11-6 with 10:04 remaining in the first half. Seton Hall would also lose their second leading scorer Sandro Mamukelashvili for the rest of the contest due to an apparent lower body injury.
The Cyclones were able to close out the first half on fire- off of the bench, George Conditt IV added 10 points and five rebounds, while being very active on the defensive end with a couple of monster stops.
