The Iowa State men’s basketball team closed out exhibition play with an 80-72 win over Northwestern. Senior guard Nate Heise led the Cyclones with 19 points, including five of seven from three point range.

That’s Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger who feels the exhibition games against the Wildcats and Creighton were good tests. The Cyclones open the regular season a week from Monday night against Fairleigh Dickinson.
