Iowa State was able to avoid an embarrassing night at hands of the frisky Cougars. The Cougars would leave Hilton empty handed down 30 at last call, only bringing an L back to their bedrooms. The Cougars will be back on the prowl in Des Moines tomorrow, and hopefully, they’ll be able to get lucky with the Drake Bulldogs.
Iowa State started off to an early 20-4 lead, but a mixture of stagnant offense and foul trouble stopped the Cyclones from turning this one into a rout. The defensive intensity shined at times tonight; Tre Jackson played exceptional defense all night.
