Iowa State Christian? Cyclones blitz Minnesota 99 to 65
Iowa State's basketball team opened with a 12-0 run and cruised to a 99-65 win over Minnesota at Hilton Coliseum. Fred Hoiberg led with 18 points, Justus Thigpen added 23, and Ron Bayless hit five 3-pointers for a season-high 25. Minnesota, shorthanded by injuries, struggled on both ends as ISU pulled away early and built its largest-ever margin over a Big Ten foe. The Cyclones improved to 7-3 and eye a New Year’s Eve Bethune Cookman showcase before a Jan. 5 Marathon Oil exhibition and Big 8 play at Kansas.
