First win over a ranked opponent for the last five Cyclone head coaches --
Morgan = first season on January 31 against #15 Kansas in Hilton
McDermott = fourth season (!!!) on March 6 against #5 Kansas State in Manhattan
Hoiberg = second season on January 28 against #5 Kansas in Hilton
Prohm = first season on December 22 against #22 Cincinnati in Cincinnati
Otzelberger = first season on November 24 against #25 Xavier in New York
So TJ beat his first ranked team five games into Iowa State tenure. This accomplishment was only accomplished by Hoiberg in his second season and McDermott took almost four full seasons.
Long way to go yet, but this beginning feels special.
