The Cyclones.com app/website has been terrible about putting where you can watch/listen to games this season. It used to be in every game primer, now you have to go to the schedule page to find it.
This game is available on ESPN+.

Its also in the isu notes that are found under the media center link. Agreed though, much harder to find this year!
I was blissfully unaware Valpo had shed the cool Crusader moniker in the name of political correctness. Is Batman now to be known as the “Caped Beacon”?
I would be more upset with the Ku Klux Klan and similar hate groups for their appropriation of the term.
I wouldn't like it one bit if the growing Neo-Nazi movement in America started calling themselves "Cyclones".
Not saying I agree or disagree with the name change decision. It's just frustrating these hate groups aren't stomped out so we don't have to worry about this kind of bullcrap at all. I do understand a university not wanting to be associated with those groups.

Since Williams has 9 assists, here's the single game records for ISU:
