(Ames, IA) -- Former Cyclone and Olympic Gold Medalist Tyrese Haliburton is getting a banner at Hilton Coliseum in Ames. Iowa State will honor Haliburton Saturday, March 1st, when the Cyclones host Arizona. The sold-out game tips off at 8 p.m.
Haliburton and Team USA earned the eighth Gold Medal of the professional era for the United States, while it was the fifth-straight Olympic Games that Team USA brought home the gold.
The first two-time NBA All-Star in Iowa State history, Haliburton was one of five Cyclones who played men's basketball in the 2024 Paris Olympics. The five Cyclones playing in the Olympics was the second-most of any program in the country.
Haliburton is the eighth Cyclone to win a Gold Medal at the Olympics and the first in men's basketball. Haliburton is in his fifth NBA season, including his third with the Indiana Pacers.
