The future is bright for the Iowa State men’s and women’s basketball teams after runs to the Sweet-16. The Cyclone men closed T.J. Otzerlberger’s first season as head coach with a 22-13 record after a 70-56 loss to Miami in Chicago and Otzelberger credits a roster that bought in.

Otzelberger on how this team will be remembered.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones also handled their share of adversity.

ISU guard Izaiah Brockington hopes this team is remembered as the one that got the program restarted.

The Cyclone women finished 28-7 after a 76-68 upset loss to Creighton in Greensboro, North Carolina. Even if star forward Ashley Joens does not used her COVID season a solid nucleus returns for coach Bill Fennelly.

Fennelly says it was an enjoyable team to coach.
