NCAA Tournament: Iowa State learns its March Madness destination
POWERED BY CARL’S AUTO GROUP. WELCOME BACK. TAKE ANOTHER LOOK. THE CYCLONES GET THE THREE SEED IN MILWAUKEE. THEY ARE IN THE SOUTH REGION, WHICH IS ATLANTA. BUT IN MILWAUKEE, THEY START OUT WITH A GAME AGAINST THE 14 SEED LIPSCOMB. BISON ON FRIDAY, THE OLE MISS REBELS ON THE TOP OF THAT WILL BE TAKING ON THE WINNER OF THE PLAY IN GAME BETWEEN SAN DIEGO STATE AND NORTH CAROLINA. SO I WOULD STATE IF THEY GET PAST LIPSCOMB, WE’LL GET EITHER OLE MISS OR SAN DIEGO STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, GOT TO GET DAMON AND KEYSHAWN HEALTHY. AUBURN, THE ONE SEED IN THE REGION. AND WE JUST ACTUALLY HAD BREAKING NEWS. KCCI SHANNON EARHART IS IN AMES RIGHT NOW TO COVER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE BRACKET. AND T.J. OTZELBERGER IOWA STATE HEAD COACH, JUST TOOK THE PODIUM AND STARTED HIS PRESS CONFERENCE, DROPPING SOME NEWS ABOUT HIS TWO STAR PLAYERS WHO HAVE BEEN BANGED UP TAMING LIPSEY AND KEYSHAWN GILBERT. KEYSHAWN GILBERT WILL NOT PLAY IN THIS YEAR’S NCAA TOURNAMENT. WE JUST FOUND THAT OUT MOMENTS AGO. HE’S BEEN DEALING WITH MUSCLE SORENESS. HE MISSED THE BYU LOSS, AS DID TAMIN, LIPSEY, LIPSEY WITH SOME GROIN INJURY. BUT THE GOOD NEWS ON LIPSEY HE WILL PLAY. HERE’S WHAT OTZELBERGER JUST TOLD EVERYONE. DAMON. HE’S PROGRESSING WELL AND EACH DAY HE’S GETTING BETTER. AND SO WE FULLY ANTICIPATE HE’LL BE READY TO GO FOR OUR GAME ON FRIDAY WITH KEYSHAWN. WE’VE DECIDED THAT HE NEEDS TO FOCUS ON HIS REHAB AND GETTING HIS BODY BACK RIGHT, SO HE WON’T BE AVAILABLE AS WE MOVE FORWARD. HE DID NOT TAKE QUESTIONS ON THE ISSUE ON THE SUBJECT, BUT THAT IS BIG NEWS FOR THE CYCLONES. TRYING TO GET RIGHT. TAKE A QUICK LOOK AT IOWA STATE’S TOURNAMENT HISTORY. FINAL FOURS IN SAN ANTONIO THIS YEAR. CAN THEY MAKE IT BACK? IF THEY DO SHORT HANDED, IT’LL BE THE FIRST TIME SINCE 1944. LAST TIME THEY MADE AN ELITE EIGHT WAS IN 2000. SWEET 16 HAS BEEN THE NAME OF THE GAME FOR THE CYCLONES. A LOT OF SWEET 16 TRIPS, INCLUDING TWO OUT OF THE PAST THREE YEARS IN 2022 AND IN 2024. LAST YEAR, IOWA STATE WAS A TWO SEED. THEY LOST IN THE SWEET 16 IN BOSTON WHEN THEY FEL
