The Iowa State football team is 1-8. But have no fear! Basketball season is arriving to capture the attention of Cyclone Nation and take our minds off the poor results we’ve seen on the gridiron.
Steve Prohm enters his second year at the helm in Ames with some familiar faces on the team, but also a few notables (Georges Niang, Jameel McKay, Abdel Nader) lost to professional ball. With names like Morris, Mitrou-Long, Thomas and Burton returning for this year’s squad, expectations are still high for the Cyclones, but an unproven frontcourt — at least at the Big 12 level — makes people question if ISU will take a step forward or backward this season.
