The Red Raiders battled back from 18 points down to cut the lead to 2, but the Cyclones proved to be too much in the final minutes. Their record is now 11-2 (1-1 Big 12).
I cannot say that I am at all surprised by the outcome of this game. Going on the road to play against a ranked opponent is a hefty task. The Big 12 is arguably the best basketball conference in the country so road wins will be at a premium for every team. Iowa State is great and will have a very good season, but if the offense had executed just a little better they might have pulled the upset.
