Iowa State senior forward George Conditt is headed home for Friday night’s Sweet-16 game against Miami. The native of Chicago will be playing his first game in the United Center.

Conditt has watched a number of games in the United Center.

Conditt says the Cyclones remain motivated by the coaches and media members who picked them to finish last in the Big 12 after last year’s 2-22 finish.

Conditt says the Cyclones are succeeding because they are playing with no fear.
