I was curious about the last time Iowa State lost two in a row at Hilton, because ISU lost its last game at home to Baylor and will be an underdog to the #1 team in the country tomorrow night. Found this fact interesting.

The last time was in the 2010-11 season, Holberg's first year, when Iowa State had a four-game home losing streak against Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Kansas State, and Missouri. (ISU finished out the year after that with two-straight home wins over Nebraska and Colorado, though.)

There were at least a couple instances of Hilton Magic since then to prevent a two-game skid at home, too:

2014-15: Loss to Baylor followed by 21-point comeback against Oklahoma
2011-12: Loss to Missouri followed by Christopherson's buzzer beater to beat Oklahoma State

Hoping that this almost five-year streak continues tomorrow.

That 2010-2011 season went into a tail spin after we lost the heart breaker in Stillwater, then got stuck in Stillwater for about 24 hours, then went straight to Columbia instead of coming back to Ames, where we got blown out. It took awhile to rebound from that.

A lot of close losses.

That was a tough season but there was a lot of optimism because we had a first-year coach. Kind of amazing how different the perspective is for ISU fans this year with another new coach. The program has been elevated significantly, and so have the expectations.

What at makes you think ISU will be the underdog?
 
ISU had the exact same stretch last season. Lost to Baylor at home. Won @KSU on a Saturday and then play OU at home for Big Monday. We all know how that went down.

We lost at KSU last year in a very ISU way.

Ah, so we did. 70-69. My mistake.

Still interesting as last year it was Baylor, @KSU, OU, @TCU. We're in the middle of that stretch right now. I wonder how often the Big 12 calls upon past schedules when scheduling for the next season.
