ISU Nearly Pulls An Upset
Sometimes I’m glad I’ve been preoccupied with all this Olympics business, like yesterday when I would have otherwise been yelling at the TV during the Iowa State game. Playing #19 Oklahoma on the road, the Cyclones held the lead through most of the second half, but the Sooners finally made a late charge to win the game 83-82. I think it is incredibly courageous that the Clones, with all their troubles this season, managed to control the game for as long as they did, so even though it goes down as their fourth straight loss, I salute the mighty Cardinal & Gold. Curtis Stinson led the team with 24 points, while Will Blalock scored 22. ISU falls to 4-8 in the Big 12 and 14-11 overall with just four games remaining before the conference tournament. They host a troubled Oklahoma State (13-12, 3-8 Big 12) on Wednesday.
