No Magic needed at Hilton today --- and I'm sure that was just fine with Iowa State fans. The Cyclones wiped the floor with over-matched Texas A&M, 69-46. Iowa State has outscored A&M 143-96 in two games this season. This is the same A&M team that many picked to win the Big 12.
The Cyclones are now tied for 3rd with Baylor, who Iowa State plays on Monday. The 6th-ranked Bears have lost 2 straight and will likely plummet in Monday's poll. If the Cyclones can find a way to beat Baylor, they would definitely jump into the top-25 (assuming they don't lose to lowly Oklahoma the next weekend). Right now, this team is playing like a 6 or 7 seed in the NCAA tourney. Not only should the Cyclones go to the tournament, they should win a game or two as well.
Ames grad, Jordan Burgason, saw his great college basketball career come to an abrupt end, this weekend. Burgason, who led the nation in 3-point shooting, was kicked off his Lipscomb team, and kicked out of school. According to Lipscomb, he broke unspecified university policies. Here's a look at the Lipscomb Code of Conduct http://bit.ly/wQacdH

| Burgason was shooting 53% from 3-pt range. |
For the second straight year there will be a girl at state wrestling. Eddyville-Blakesburg's Megan Black once again qualified for the tournament, which begins on Thursday. Casey Herkelman, who became the first girl to win a match at the state wrestling tourney a year ago, did not qualify.

Life in the Big 12 must really be rough. Iowa State wouldn't be .500 in a real conference.
Wow, you're an idiot Jeremy.
I agree Patrick, Jeremy is an idiot, and probably a hok fan. Just jealous.
The Big 12 is very top-heavy this year, but it's a decent conference. Iowa State would have an above .500 record in the Big Ten, too. Not sure if it would be 8-4, but the 'Clones would be all right.
Last I checked ISU had dominated Iowa and was down six late during a 10 point loss at Michigan. Yeah they'd suck in a real conference.....like the ACC maybe. The Little Ten? Nah....
Ill be waiting for you guys to brag them when they lose in the first round!
Iowa beat Michigan, so how am I supposed to be impressed by Iowa State losing to them by 10?
Hmmmm.....Iowa beating Michigan on their home court. Real hard there. How bout in Ann Arbor? Iowa's looked great on the road of late haven't they Jer?
So ISU loses @ Mich in early December, and I believe Mich was ranked too. Just wondering how Iowa would have fared in December, home or away? Iowa has looks of brilliance, & mediocrity in the same week. Next year will be different. I imagine the same for ISU.
Michigan was ranked 13 when we beat them by 16 points, you're comparison falls flat. Also, how'd Drake treat you?
