The No. 6 Cyclones came into Austin looking for revenge. The other matchup between these teams this season, the Joens-less Cyclones were handed an 18 point loss by the Longhorns in Ames.
The game started off relatively slow, taking nearly three minutes for the first bucket to come. When the first shot finally fell, it came from who else, but Ashley Joens. From there, both teams would begin to find their rhythm. Texas took a four point lead to go into the break up 11-15.
The second quarter brought slightly more scoring, as Iowa State was able to get four attempts at the free throw line, and hit a couple of threes.
