Cyclones Are Dancing!

AMES, Iowa - The Iowa State women's basketball team has been selected to play in its 18th NCAA Tournament, and 11^th appearance in the last 13 years. The 3rd-seeded Cyclones will face 14^th-seeded New Mexico State in the first round, Saturday, March 23rd in Ames, Iowa. As one of the top-16 teams selected in the field, Iowa State earned the right to host the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament, the Cyclones' first time under the new section format allowing the top-16 the right to host.

The Cyclones game against New Mexico State will tipoff at 4:30 p.m. CT on ESPN2. The winning team will advance to play the winner of the other game, (#6) DePaul vs. (#11) Missouri State, on Monday March 25.
