North Dakota vs. Iowa State, 1st half

It's the Wesley Johnson show. The sophomore has 13 points and 4-of-4 from the field. He's also pulled down three rebounds. The only thing he has done yet? Mop the floors with the ball boys.
North Dakota 11, Iowa State 27.

The final push

The Cyclones will be making their final push before the start of the Big 12 season Saturday hosting North Dakota. They've won five straight but once again will be without junior Sean Haluska who is still nursing an injured back. Cyclones' coach Greg McDermott confirmed freshman Cameron Lee is a little banged up as well.
I'll be blogging from press row periodically throughout the game.

One more to go

One more game to go until the Big 12 schedule starts. Besides a spurt at the end of the first half and the start of the second half, the Cyclones’ defense is playing as well as it has been all season. They held USC-Upstate to under 50 points for the first time this season. Wesley Johnson is finally getting back to health. The sophomore connected on a first half dunk and completed it, in what looked like pain free fashion. With only one game left until the Big 12 season begins for ISU, how impressed have you been so far with this team?
