Recap: Turnovers, Lack of Toughness Cost Iowa State

Georges Niang's eight turnovers, mixed with poor rebounding and second half shooting, allowed the West Virginia Mountaineers to upset the Iowa State Cyclones 81-76 in Hilton Coliseum Tuesday night.

24-7, 35-14. Cyclone football fans know they can't be comfortable with any leads in football. That's why ISU fans love basketball. After all, a 15 point lead at any point in any game should make fans comfortable when watching Georges Niang and Monte Morris run up and down the court. But that was not the case tonight, as the Cyclones blew a 15 point first half lead and dropped their second game at Hilton this season to West Virginia, 81-76.
