Iowa State Athletics will honor the historic 1999-2000 and 2000-01 men’s basketball teams during a special reunion and halftime recognition on Jan. 4 against Baylor. These teams, led by standout players like Marcus Fizer and Jamaal Tinsley, brought ISU back-to-back Big 12 regular-season titles, marking a significant moment in Cyclone basketball history.
The 1999-2000 season saw ISU earn its first conference title in 55 years, followed by a run to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. The 2000-01 team continued the success, securing another Big 12 championship.
Fans are encouraged to join in recognizing these Cyclone legends on Jan. 4 at Hilton Coliseum.
