Iowa State has only defeated one Men's Basketball National Champion in the year that they won the tournament. This came by defeating Kansas in 1988 in Hilton Coliseum two and a half months before the Jayhawks won the the National Championship.
If Texas Tech wins the National Championship tonight, it will be the second time in program history that the Cyclones had beaten the champs before they cut down the nets at the Final Four. This season would be a bit different though, as it would be the first time that the feat occured on the Champions' home court.
