Well the first round of the Advocare Invitational is now officially in the books. Miami, Florida, Gonzaga and your Iowa State Cyclones were victorious, while Indiana State, Quinnipiac, Seton Hall and Stanford will now do battle in the loser’s bracket.
It was never an aesthetically pleasing first round performance from the Cyclones, but they did enough (somehow) to get past the Sycamores and earn their toughest test of this young season against the Miami Hurricanes. Iowa State shot record low percentages for the Prohm era and still managed to pull out a win through defensive stops and offensive rebounding in the waning moments.
