No. 8 Kansas Overwhelmed by 'Hilton Magic' as Twitter Praises ISU Home Court in Upset

Kansas was the latest victim of "Hilton Magic" as No. 13 Iowa State earned a 68-53 home win over the No. 8 team in the country.

The Cyclones improved to 12-0 this season at Hilton Coliseum, and fans were quick to note the impact:

Iowa State entered the day with four losses in the last six games, with each defeat coming on the road. But at home, the team had top-10 wins over Texas and Kansas State during this stretch.

The difference was clear once again on Saturday as the Cyclones came out with a lot of energy and thrived with an aggressive defense.

Kansas turned it over 20 times in the loss, shooting just 6-of-23 from three-point range. Potential NBA lottery pick Gradey Dick had just seven points after scoring 21 against the Cyclones in Kansas last month.

On the other end of the court, Tamin Lipsey filled up the stat sheet with nine points, 10 assists, eight rebounds and three steals, while Jaren Holmes came through with key outside shots.

It was enough pull out a key win that will help Iowa State's resume in March.
