Top o' the Mid-Mornin' (Dump): Let's Get Lucky Today

On This Day in Sports History

MARCH 17, 2004. Behind Jackson Vroman's 23 points, Curtis Stinson's 31, a whopping 52 in the second half and a program record 74.4% FROM THE FIELD (which still stands today), Iowa State defeated Georgia in the first round of the NIT. The Cyclones went on to beat Florida State and Marquette before falling in overtime to Rutgers (?) in the semifinal.
