I hope no one put money on that Joens and Collier above 30 bet. The two prolific scorers didn’t even reach 20. Joens finished with 19, Collier with 14. So maybe I don’t get everything right. The Longhorns handled the Cyclones with a balanced attack of scoring with all five starters finishing with double digits in points. However, I think the reason why the Cyclones lost is a reoccurring pain for this Iowa State team: long scoring droughts.
The Cyclones had droughts to start the third quarter, and one that stretched from the end of the third quarter to the start of the fourth.
