Cyclones seeking respect
Iowa State guard Diante Garrett knows the expectations placed on the men’s basketball program aren’t very high this season. “We are the underdogs,” Garrett said. “A lot of guys are saying we aren’t going to be any good because we have a new coach and (have) a lot of new players.” But through six games, Iowa State is undefeated, and Garrett likes what he’s seeing from the Cyclones. Garrett is certain more people will like what the team is doing if...

Iowa State transfer loses appeal
The NCAA has denied Iowa State basketball player Royce White’s appeal to play this season, the Cyclones announced Wednesday. White, a 6-foot-8 forward from Minneapolis, is ineligible under NCAA transfer rules, and the ruling means that he will sit out this season. White enrolled at Minnesota for his freshman season in 2009-2010. He announced his decision to transfer to Iowa State on July 12. He will be a redshirt sophomore for the Cyclones in 2011-12.

ISU senior has 'a great moment'
Jamie Vanderbeken figured it was the least he could do. His parents, Russell and Eleanor, had made the 18-hour drive from their home in Canada to see their son play. So the Iowa State senior delivered one of the most memorable shots in school history, a 30-footer as time expired to give the Cyclones a 91-88 win over Creighton at Wells Fargo Arena. “It was a great moment,'' said the 6-foot-11 senior from Belleville, Ontario. “Having (my parents) here and hitting that shot and just...

ISU ‘Mayor' riding on a wave of popularity
If this keeps up, “The Mayor” might have to run for higher office. Then again, there is probably not a job Fred Hoiberg wanted more than to be the basketball coach at Iowa State. “This,” he said, “has been a dream come true — to come home and coach in front of the people that have supported me my entire life.'' Hoiberg, a hometown hero dubbed “The Mayor” when he starred for Iowa State, has the Cyclones off to a 3-0 start heading into Sunday's 2:05...

Stout Tiger defense shuts down ISU
Blaine Gabbert threw a touchdown pass and No. 15 Missouri turned a fake punt into another score in a 14-0 victory against Iowa State Saturday night. On a chilly night, Missouri (9-2, 5-2 Big 12) sputtered offensively for most of the game. But the Tigers’ defense remained stout while Missouri made just enough plays with the ball to deny Iowa State (5-7, 3-5) the victory it needed for bowl eligibility.

Stout Tiger defense will challenge Cyclones
When asked by a reporter about Missouri’s status as the Big 12 scoring defense co-leader, Iowa State offensive coordinator Tom Herman quickly interjected: “Thanks for the reminder.” Herman doesn’t need to be told how good the Tiger defense is. He has seen it again and again on film as the Cyclones prepare to host Missouri on Saturday at 6 p.m. on Fox Sports Net Midwest.

Tiller named as Cyclones QB
Iowa State began November needing just one victory to become eligible for a bowl game and three chances to get it. After two straight losses, the Cyclones are down to their last chance. And they have to try to make it happen with backup quarterback Jerome Tiller running the offense and No. 15 Missouri as the opponent at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday night. Starting quarterback Austen Arnaud, a fifth-year senior, injured his left knee in last Saturday's 34-14 loss at Colorado and is out for the...
