@CycloneMBB Notebook
- Iowa State looks to improve to 3-0 for the third season in a row Monday when it faces Alabama in the CBE Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City. The Cyclones return to the Sprint Center for the first time since winning the Big 12 Championship against Baylor on March 15, 2014. ISU was 9-1 in neutral site games last season.
- Iowa State is 4-5 all-time at the Sprint Center after winning three in a row last March.
- The Cyclones are ranked No. 14 in the AP preseason poll, the 20th week in a row in the top-25.
- ISU has had five players in double figures in both games this season. The Cyclones have had a different leading scorer, rebounder and assister in both games.
- The Cyclones are coming off an 81-58 win against Georgia State last Monday. The Cyclones shot 48.3 percent from the field, including 53.1 percent in the second half. ISU assisted on 79.3 percent of its 29 field goals in the game (23 assists). After allowing Oakland to shoot 51.8 percent in the season opener, ISU held Georgia State to 39.1 percent shooting. GSU's stars R.J. Hunter and Ryann Harrow were a combined 14-for-42 from the field.
- Against Georgia State, Monté Morris had a career-high 19 points to go along with nine assists and no turnovers to lead the Cyclones. It was Morris' 7th career game with at least five dimes and no turnovers.
- Georges Niang, who is on the Wooden Award Top-50 list, is the only player in the nation averaging at least 20 points, 10 rebounds and four assists. Niang had 30 points, nine rebounds and five assists in the season opener against Oakland.
- Bryce Dejean-Jones is second on the team in scoring (17.5) and rebounding (9.0). Dejean-Jones matched a career-high with seven assists against Georgia State after tying his career-high with 11 boards in opener.
- Dustin Hogue has scored 15 points in each of the first two games while shooting 73.3 percent from the field. Naz Long hit five threes against Georgia State and has seven trifectas in the first two games.
- ISU, which averaged just 10.6 turnovers per game last year, is turning it over just 9.5 times per game this season. The Cyclones have a team assist-to-turnover ratio of 2.2, which ranks among the top-10 teams in the country.
- Iowa State, which has got just nine points from its bench in the first two games, will have its depth bolstered with Abdel Nader and Matt Thomas available for the first time this season. Both players will be eligible to return for the Alabama game after missing the exhibition game and the first two games of the regular season due to a violation of team rules. Nader redshirted last season after transferring from Northern Illinois. Thomas played in all 36 games as a freshman, averaging 5.5 points.
Series Notes vs. CBE Opponents

- ISU owns a 2-1 edge in the all-time series with Arizona State...the teams haven't met since 1987, with ISU winning 99-85 in Ames...Elmer Robinson had 26 points for the Cyclones in the win...Arizona State assistant coach Barret Peery coached current Cyclones Dustin Hogue and Jameel McKay at Indian Hills Community College.
