Big 12 Tournament, here we go. Rough opening draw for the fourth-seeded Cyclones, who would start their tournament off with the only team in conference play that beat them both times: The Texas Longhorns. Texas had their way with Iowa State in the regular season, winning both games by a combined 26 points. Would Iowa State avoid the complete season sweep, or could they keep their Big 12 Tournament Championship hopes alive/
Both teams started by trading blows in the 1st. Joanne Allen-Taylor, Charli Collier, and Celeste Taylor made 3 straight 3s for Texas, while Ashley Joens and Kristin Scott kept the Cyclones close with made shots of their own.
