Looking for a resume-boosting road win, the No. 7 Texas Longhorns endured two long stretches without field goals, too much offensive ineptitude to overcome in Ames against the No. 12 Iowa State Cyclones as the Horns dropped the 78-67 contest at Hilton Colisuem.
Texas went the final 7:28 of the first half without a field goal — after a layup by guard Sir’Jabari Rice to go up 29-18, Iowa State outscored the visitors 18-6 over that stretch to take a lead into halftime. In the second half, guard Marcus Carr made a breakout layup in transition to take a 51-49.
