With an assist from a raucous Fertitta Center crowd, the No. 2 Houston Cougars outmuscled No. 6 Iowa State on Monday night, getting revenge on the Cyclones for handing the high-flying team one of its just three losses on the season last month.
The game was highly-anticipated, pitting the No. 1 and No. 2 teams in the Big 12 against one another with the top of the conference on the line.
