Iowa State fans can be a part of the Cyclone athletic department’s celebration
of 100 years of men’s basketball by helping select the school’s All-Century Team
through on-line voting at cyclones.com.
“Reliving the rich history of 100 years of
Iowa State men’s basketball will be a season-long celebration,” Director of
Athletics Jamie Pollard said. “The jewel of the celebration will be the naming
and recognition of our All-Century team. The fact that fans – through on-line
voting – will determine much of the team’s make-up is appropriate, and we are
encouraging all Cyclones to vote and do so as many times as they please.”
A total of 15 former greats will comprise
the All-Century Team. Eight spots will be automatically occupied by ISU’s
All-Americans. Fans will vote for the remaining seven spots from the ballot of
44 former Cyclones that met one of the following criteria: first-team
all-conference, 1,000-point career scorer or played in the NBA.
“We expect a lot of votes from Cyclone
basketball fans,” said former Iowa State men’s basketball player and current
radio color commentator Eric Heft. “Voting is a great way to express your ISU
basketball perspective and to learn about players you may not have even heard of
because they played so long ago.”
Voting for the All-Century Team is
unlimited. The All-Century Team will be announced next season. Iowa State will
honor its All-Century Team at a special letterwinners reunion and at a game
during Big 12 play next season.
Short bios on all of the Cyclone greats,
along with a direct link to vote, are available at cyclones.com.
