Iowa State gave Texas all they could handle, which was a good sign based on the fact that the Cyclones struggled against UT in the regular season. It was a great effort from Bill Fennelly and company, as they fell 82-73 in the Big 12 semi-finals. Ashley Joens poured in 33 points while grabbing 13 rebounds, Lexi Donarski had 11 points, and Emily Ryan had 8 points and 9 assists. Beatriz Jordao was very impressive off the bench, scoring 8 points, snagging 5 boards, and hitting her first career three-pointer. Jordao and Morgan Kane were excellent in the post on defense, which really gave ISU the best chance to win.
