Cyclones Fall in Heartbreaker | Iowa State Cyclones Basketball News

Iowa State suffered a heartbreaker in the Cy-Hawk showdown, falling 16-13 to No. 21 Iowa after a late field goal sealed the win for the Hawkeyes. Despite leading for much of the game and holding Iowa’s star RB to just 57 yards, the Cyclones’ offense struggled with limited yardage and crucial execution lapses. First-year coach Jimmy Rogers praised the effort but stressed the need for results, while QB Jaylen Raynor admitted they can’t rely on officials to decide games. Offensive tackle Jake Taylor took ownership, saying the offense must deliver wins—not just good efforts—and the defense acknowledged missed opportunities down the stretch. This loss marks Iowa State’s first under Rogers, but he remains laser-focused on turning things around in their final ten games.
