The small lineup has been successful at times for Iowa State, and tonight was no different, as the Cyclones defeated the TCU Horned Frogs 92-83.
Abdel Nader picked up where he left off his previous game, in which he scored an Iowa State career-high 26 points against Baylor, scoring the first 7 points of the game for the Cyclones. Matt Thomas drilled back to back threes to end Nader's run, which forced Trent Johnson and the Horned Frogs to call their first time out less than three minutes into the game.
Georges Niang capped an 8-0 run for the Cyclones out of the timeout by saluting Michael Jordan for his 53rd birthday by impersonating a Jordan throw down.
