In each of T.J. Otzelberger’s four years with Iowa State basketball, he’s had the Cyclones ranked among the top 12 of the AP Poll at some point. However, there appears to be a glass ceiling for the Iowa State Cyclones since they have not advanced past the Sweet 16 in any of those years. ISU has lost to worse seeds in the last three NCAA Tournaments, so many in Ames are hoping that Otzelberger leans heavily on the college basketball transfer portal to bring in the type of talent that would allow Iowa State basketball roster to take the next step.
Seven of ISU’s top 10 scorers from this past season are out of eligibility or in the portal themselves, so the head coach was going to have to attack the portal regardless to fill out the roster. The Cyclones have landed three transfers already with hopes they can help ISU men’s basketball reach the Elite Eight for just the third time in the 118-year history of the program. If you love the Cyclones, or want the latest roster updates and college basketball transfer portal news, be sure to see what the proven team of insiders are saying at Cyclone Alert, the 247Sports affiliate that covers the Cyclones.

Iowa State basketball roster news
Over the span of four days, Iowa State landed three transfers from across the country. Blake Buchanan, a 6-foot-11 center from Virginia, was a top-100 recruit coming out of high school and gives Otzelberger much-needed size. Also, Eric Mulder, an Iowa native, returns home after spending the last three years at Purdue Fort Wayne, where he was a two-year starter. Finally, there’s Mason Williams from the West Coast as he ranked second on Eastern Washington with 13.9 points last year and has two seasons of eligibility left.
Iowa State is hoping to add to Mulder by landing another player from the Midwest in guard Alex Huibregtse. After five years at Wright State, Huibregtse entered the portal with hopes of getting back to the NCAA Tournament for his final college season. He’s increased his scoring average each year and posted 13.5 points, 3.1 rebounds and 3.1 assists in 2024-25. While there’s interest between Iowa State and Huibregtse, the Wisconsin Badgers are also keen on keeping him in-state as he would be an instant impact player for either program.

Warriors get superhero showing from Stephen Curry, but unsung heroes quietly save the day
Getty Images One night after LeBron James dialed up 38 points and scored 20 in a single half for the 100th time in his playoff career, Stephen Curry followed up with his own "How is he still doing this?" performance in Game 3 against the Rockets on Saturday. The only difference: Curry's masterpiece came in a win. Playing without Jimmy Butler, who was nursing a pelvic and deep glute contusion, Curry put on his cape to the tune of 36 points, nine assists, seven rebounds, five 3-pointers and even a pair of blocked shots as the Warriors -- who trailed by as many as 13 in the first half and managed just 18 first-quarter points -- pulled off a 104-93 victory to take a 2-1 lead in what continues to be a street-fight series. "In this series, no game is gonna be pretty," […]

Barcelona have taken their first step towards a treble. Can they do it?
Jules Kounde had already been one of Barcelona’s best players. It was extra time in an already intense match. Taking advantage of Ferran Torres’ substitution for Pau Victor, he took a breather. He crouched down and then put his hands on his knees, clearly exhausted. He was spent. So were the three forwards. But he had enough strength left to become the unexpected hero.AdvertisementHe intercepted a pass from Luka Modric to Brahim Diaz — who slipped a second earlier — lifted his head, looked at Thibaut Courtois’ goal and didn’t think twice. He fired a powerful shot from outside the area with all of his soul. The Belgian couldn’t stop it. The Frenchman took off the black band from his head that stopped his dreadlocks from falling on his face and ran towards the corner flag, shouting. It was 3-2 […]

Yankees remove Devin Williams from closer role ‘for right now’ as reliever’s struggles continue
Getty Images The New York Yankees have taken Devin Williams out of the ninth inning. Yankees manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Williams has been removed as closer following his latest poor showing in which he gave up three earned runs Friday."For right now, I'm going to take him out of that role," said Boone (via The Athletic).Williams, acquired from the Milwaukee Brewers over the offseason, turned in his worst effort of the year on Friday. He entered to a one-run read to begin the ninth inning, but promptly surrendered three runs on two hits and a hit batsman. Williams was subsequently charged with his first blown save, his second loss, and his fourth "meltdown." (The meltdown is a FanGraphs-tracked statistic that judges relievers based on their Win Probability Added.) Is Devin Williams' Airbender to blame for Yankees closer's struggles? What may be […]
