The big night is here. The Cyclones have made it to the Sweet 16 and Iowa Staters everywhere will be cheering them on via the television tonight.

Those interested in cheering on Tim Floyd and his team with other members of the university can attend a pre-game party for fans in Ames at 9 p.m. tonight at Johnny Orr’s Sports Grille.

Admission is free. “T-for-Three” t-shirts plus halftime door prizes will also be given away to enthusiastic fans.

The Alumni Association will host a pre-game party in San Antonio at the Champions Sports Bar in the River Center Mall. The party will begin at 5 p.m. If the Cyclones advance in the tourney, fans can catch another party in the same location two hours before game time Saturday.
