If you enjoyed Friday’s home opener against Savannah State, you’ll likely enjoy Monday night’s tilt as well. It’s not always easy to derive intrigue or story lines from some of these early non-conference contests, but one nugget to watch for is the Mitrou-Long family reunion. Naz’s brother, Elijah, is the starting shooting guard for Mount St. Mary’s, and he’ll make his way to Hilton along with 20+ family and friends as the Mountaineers and Cyclones match up for the first time in program history.
If you missed any of Iowa State’s season opening victory against the Tigers, allow me to redirect you to the most thorough coverage of the Cyclones’ 113-71 win.
