Iowa State is one of 16 basketball schools that have advanced to the semifinal round for the Naismith Student Section of the Year Award. 

Three days remain to vote in the semifinal round, and eight teams will advance as finalists. Fans will vote from those eight teams to determine which school has the top student section in the nation. 

The ISU men’s basketball team is currently on a stretch in which it has won 21 consecutive games at Hilton Coliseum, while the ISU women’s basketball team is 11-2 at home this season.

After the top eight schools are named on Feb. 22, fans will be able to vote for a winner, which will be announced on March 8. The winning school will be awarded $10,000 for use in its general scholarship fund.
