Cyclones host Marquette in Big 12/Big East Battle

AMES — The Iowa State men’s basketball team will host Marquette in the 2024 Big 12/Big East Battle on Dec. 4 at Hilton Coliseum.

Iowa State is 4-0 in the Big East/Big 12 Battle, beating DePaul last season, St. John’s in 2022, Creighton in 2021 and No. 16 Seton Hall in 2019. The 2020 meeting with DePaul was canceled due to COVID-19 protocols just hours before tipoff.

The Cyclones and Marquette will be meeting for the ninth time. Iowa State won the last meeting, 77-69, on March 25, 2004, in Ames. The victory sent the Cyclones to the NIT Final Four. Marquette leads the all-time series 5-3, while Iowa State holds a 3-2 advantage in Ames.

The Golden Eagles went 27-10 last season, advancing to the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16. Both the Cyclones and Golden Eagles finished the year in the AP Top 25, with ISU at No. 8 and Marquette at No. 11.
