The 16th ranked Iowa State men open the regular season at home Monday night against Fairleigh-Dickinson. The Cyclones split a pair of exhibition games and coach T.J. Otzelberger would like to see the Cyclones impose their will on defense.

Otzelberger on what he wants to see from his team.

Senior point guard Tamin Lipsey returned to practice late last week after being sidelined with a sprained knee and his availability tonight remains a question.

The 21st ranked Iowa Hawkeye women open the regular season at home Monday night against Southern. Two transfers are expected to play key roles for the Hawkeyes. Off guard. Emely Rodriguez scored 17 points in an exhibition win over Ashland while Georgia Tech transfer Chit Chat Wright had 12 points and four assists while running the point.

Rodriguez was seven of 10 from the floor in the exhibition game after transferring from Central Florida.

The 14th ranked Iowa State women open the regular season with a late Monday morning tip-off against St. Thomas of Minnesota. Cyclone coach Bill Fennelly expects this version of the Cyclones to be improved on defense.

Fennelly says they should be much better at guard the three point line.

Iowa State gave up 228 yards of rushing to backup quarterback Jeff Sims in a 24-19 loss to Arizona State. It was the Cyclones fourth straight loss after opening 5-0.

That’s ISU coach Matt Campbell, who says mistakes are costing the Cyclones.

Iowa State takes a 2-4 Big 12 record on the road to TCU this week.
