AMES, Iowa – For the 21st time in school history and the first time since 2019 the Iowa State men’s basketball team has earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Cyclones have reached eight NCAA Tournaments since the 2011-12 season, one of 19 teams nationally to do so.
Iowa State (20-12, 7-11 Big 12) earned a No. 11 seed in the Midwest Region and will face the No. 6 seed LSU, Friday March 18 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The winner of the Iowa State-LSU game will face the winner of the Wisconsin-Colgate on Sunday.
Game times and TV information will be announced by the NCAA later tonight.
In his first season as head coach of the team, T.J. Otzelberger orchestrated one of the greatest turnarounds improving the Cyclones from a 2-22 record last season to a 20-12 mark this season.
Otzelberger is the eighth Cyclone head coach to lead the program to the NCAA Tournament. Overall, he is making his third NCAA Tournament appearance as a head coach after leading South Dakota State to the 2017 and 2018 tournaments.
