After a non-conference season that saw the Cyclones play some good basketball without Lindell Wigginton and Solomon Young for all but two games, and Zoran Talley and Cameron Lard for the first seven, Iowa State is making the trek down to Stillwater to take on the Cowboys in the first game of conference play.
In the final non-conference game of the season (save for the Big 12-SEC Challenge game against Ole Miss), Iowa State dominated Eastern Illinois by a score of 101-53. Lindell Wigginton and Solomon Young finally made their returns to the rotation, with Wigginton pouring in 15 points in 18 minutes.
