Third Straight Loss For ISU
While I was busy watching the Olympics last night, my poor Cyclones were busy losing their third game in a row, falling to Nebraska 73-63. Iowa State managed to pull even in the second half and later got within one point of the Huskers on a three-pointer by Will Blalock, but the Huskers pulled away and never looked back. ISU shot a pitiful 34% from the field and never found a way to stop Aleks Maric, who scored a career-high 37 points. Blalock led the team with 23 points, while Curtis Stinson scored 15. Hilton Magic, it seems, has gone the way of the Lambeau Mystique, as the Clones have now lost six games at home. The loss drops Iowa State to 4-7 on Big 12 action and 14-10 overall, so a berth in the NCAA tourney is probably out of reach barring a big upset in the conference tournament next month. The Cyclones travel to #19 Oklahoma (16-6, 7-4 Big 12) this Saturday.
