Niagara falls to Iowa State
Niagara poured out of the gate like its famous namesake waterfall, sinking four 3-pointers among its first five field goals to grab an early lead before Iowa State’s defense shut down the flow in a 66-45 victory on Sunday at Hilton Coliseum.
The Cyclones (3-1) struggled to find an offensive rhythm early, shooting just 40% (24-of-60) overall. However, Iowa State’s defense clamped down when it mattered most, holding the Purple Eagles (0-4) to just nine points over the final 13 minutes to break open the contest and extend its non-conference home winning streak to 45 games.
