Game Information
Fresno State is meeting Iowa State for just the second time in school history and will be looking for its first win against the Cyclones. Fresno State and Iowa State met for the first time on Nov. 28, 1998 at the Great Alaska Shootout. The Cyclones notched a 79-70 win. The Bulldogs are coming off an 85-69 loss to Buffalo this past Wednesday and will look to rebound tonight. Tonight's game is the first Bulldog Sports Television broadcast for men's basketball.
