AMES – For the 24th time in school history and the fourth time in as many seasons under T.J. Otzelberger, the Iowa State men’s basketball team has earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament, and play #14 Lipscomb on Friday.
The Cyclones have reached 11 NCAA Tournaments since 2012, one of 10 teams in the field this year to do so.
Iowa State (24-9, 13-7 Big 12) earned a No. 3 seed in the South Region and will face No. 14 seed Lipscomb (25-9, 14-4 A-Sun) on Friday in Milwaukee, Wis. Tipoff is set for 12:30 p.m. on TNT.
Otzelberger is the first coach in school history to lead the Cyclones to the NCAA Tournament in their first four seasons at the helm. He’ll be making his sixth appearance in the NCAA Tournament, as he also led South Dakota State to the 2017 and 2018 tournaments.
