When No. 24 Iowa State hosts Mount St. Marys on Monday night at Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa, the unofficial promotion will be family reunion night.Cyclones senior Nazareth Mitrou-Long will face Mountaineers sophomore Elijah Long in a matchup of older brother vs. younger brother. About 20 family and friends, hailing mostly from their home of Mississauga, Ontario, are expected to be part of a sellout crowd.Its going to be a neat thing, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said of the siblings meeting. Im glad we could make this happen for both of them.Mitrou-Longs team is a heavy favorite, and for good reason. While the Cyclones opened their season Friday night with a 113-71 rout of Savannah State, Mount St. Marys absorbed an 87-59 pounding that evening at No. 20 West Virginia.The brothers play key roles for their teams. Mitrou-Long recorded 18 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in his opener, making a bid for the fifth triple-double in program history. Long contributed 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in his first game of the season.Mitrou-Longs return to health is a key factor for Iowa State, which should threaten Kansas and West Virginia for the Big 12 title. Mitrou-Long played in just eight games last year before persistent pain from offseason hip surgery shut down his season and forced him to take a medical redshirt.Hes our emotional leader, Prohm said of Mitrou-Long. Hes full speed all the time. Youd rather slow a guy down than have to speed one up.Not much was slowing down the Cyclones on Friday night. Although Prohm wasnt thrilled with their 20 turnovers, they shot better than 55 percent from the floor and registered 31 assists, their best single-game total since 1994.Preseason All-America selection Monte Morris recorded 11 helpers and 21 points in 26 minutes without a turnover, the 37th game without a miscue in his career. Morris is on track to join Jeff Hornacek as the only players in school history with 1,000 points, 600 assists and 200 steals. He needs only 38 assists and 25 steals to get there.While Iowa State will look to fine-tune such things as ball security and defense, the Mountaineers are merely making the next stop on a brutal nine-game road trip to start their season. Coach Jamion Christian is looking at the journey as an opportunity to make needed improvements before getting into Northeast Conference play.Were always big believers in challenging our team, he said after the loss at West Virginia. If we can learn from these experiences along the way, were going to be right where we need to be at.You know, were not in the Big 12, so everything for us in our league is going to be measured at the end of the season. Weve always done a great job at getting better at it. Well use this experience here and this road trip to really continue to improve.Mount St. Marys will be meeting the Cyclones for the first time.

Custom Arsenal Jerseys . -- Sergey Tolchinksy scored his second goal of the game 3:56 into overtime as the Sault Ste. MIAMI -- Dane Evans and Tulsa put up huge numbers all season, and did it again at the Miami Beach Bowl.Evans passed for 304 yards and five touchdowns in his final college game, three of those scoring throws going to Keevan Lucas, and Tulsa rolled past Central Michigan 55-10 on Monday afternoon at Marlins Park.Evans completed 28 of 38 passes for the Golden Hurricane (10-3), who finished with six wins in the seasons final seven games. It capped a record-setting career for Evans, who became Tulsas leader with 84 touchdown throws and -- as a big baseball fan -- said it was a thrill to play in a big-league park.If anyone knows me, they know I dont go into a game hoping I get 300 and five touchdowns, said Evans, also the school leader in passing yards. I just want to win.Tulsas offense got points on its first eight possessions, plus another touchdown when Jesse Brubaker ran an interception back 66 yards for a score. The Golden Hurricane -- who werent stopped with Evans on the field -- turned it over on downs in their final two drives, the second of those a merciful kneel-down with 1:44 left at the Central Michigan 5.Tulsa finished the season averaging 42.5 points and 527 yards per game. The Golden Hurricane outgained Central Michigan 581-355.Weve had a really good season and this is a really good football team, Tulsa coach Philip Montgomery said.

Josh Atkinson and Chris Minter also caught scoring passes for the Golden Hurricane.I just wanted the win tooday and Im glad that we got that, Lucas said.dddddddddddd Three touchdowns, thats just how it happened.THE TAKEAWAYCentral Michigan: Rush finished with 12,894 yards -- 11 shy of matching Dan LeFevours Mid-American Conference record of 12,905. His last attempt as time expired would have given him the record, but fell incomplete. I was trying to get completions, Rush said. ... The Chippewas went 1-5 in their final six games, and 3-7 after a 3-0 start. ... This was the third straight bowl trip for Central Michigan, but the Chippewas went 0-3 in them.Tulsa: This wasnt even Tulsas biggest bowl win. It topped Bowling Green 63-7 at the GMAC Bowl to close the 2007 season. ... Tulsa went 10 for 15 on third downs, and never punted.HURRICANE HISTORY, TULSA VARIETYAtkinson went over the 1,000-yard mark for the season. That made Tulsa the first FBS school to ever feature a 3,000-yard passer (Evans), two 1,000-yard rushers (Brewer and Flanders) and two 1,000-yard receivers (Lucas and Atkinson). Evans gave Montgomery all the credit, noting Tulsa had five wins in the two seasons before the coach arrived and has 16 in two years since. Shows you what that man means, Evans said.HURRICANE HISTORY, MIAMI VARIETYMarlins Park is built basically on the same site as the famed Orange Bowl -- the home field for the Miami Hurricanes for many years -- stood before it was demolished. One of the replay officials Monday was Terry Porter, who threw the infamous late-arriving flag in the Fiesta Bowl that decided the 2002 national title. Porter made a still-debated call that extended the game in overtime, and Miami lost to Ohio State in double OT.UP NEXTCentral Michigan: Its time to find Rushs replacement. The 2017 season starts Aug. 31 at home against Rhode Island.Tulsa: Like the Chippewas, the Golden Hurricane also need a new quarterback. Next season starts Sept. 2 at Oklahoma State. ' ' '
