Wednesday night will be emotional for Iowa State senior center Rob Jones. The native of the Twin Cities will play his final home game when the sixth ranked Cyclones host 20th ranked BYU. Jones is averaging better than eight points and four rebounds this season and joined the ISU program after starting his college career at the University of Denver.
That’s Cyclone coach T.J. Otzelberger. Jones is the only player who has been on the roster the past three years and his work ethic is a prime example of a program that prides itself on defense and toughness.
Jones will finish his career having been part of three Iowa State teams that have played in the NCAA Tournament.
Jones calls Otzelberger a program builder.
