The Cyclones played without starting guard Naz Long because of soreness in his hips. Long underwent off-season surgery on both hips. How long Long will be out is to be determined, he said before the game. He added that the Cyclones are unsure if this is the only game he'll miss.

Long started the first eight games, averaging 12.0 points and 2.9 rebounds.
