No. 18 Iowa State men play Memphis in Sioux Falls Monday night

The 18th ranked Iowa State men’s basketball team opens the regular season Monday night at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls against Memphis. Under former NBA All-Star Penny Hardaway, the Tigers are coming off a 93-81 exhibition loss at 12th ranked Arkansas.

That’s ISU coachT.J. Otzelberger, who says Hardaway as built a consistent winner.

After being granted a fifth year by an Indiana judge, Tamin Lipsey has provided a boost of experience for the Cyclones.

Lipsey says it will be a good way to open the season.
