This afternoon we were able to take our whole family to watch the
Iowa State men's basketball game against The Citadel. This was special because it was Maxwell's first time going to a basketball game, and I believe that this was Nolan's seventh men's basketball game. Let's see if I can list the games Nolan has attended:
Brian Gleason was in town for the game, and he had some extra tickets in section 132, so naturally we upgraded seats for the game. We sat in the 9th and 10th rows, so the view was spectacular. Eben and cousin David drove down for the game and used my normal tickets up in section 216.
The game was record-breaking in that the 130 points were the most ever scored by Iowa State in a single game. It was also special in that Monte Morris recorded a triple double for just the 5th time in school history (he finished with 17 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists, and zero turnovers). Because of that, he was an easy pick for player of the game. Although, he was one of EIGHT players in double figures scoring for the Cyclones. Morris was joined by Naz Long (26), Matt Thomas (18), Merrill Holden (13), Darrell Bowie (13), Solomon Young (12), Nick Weiler-Babb (10), and Donovan Jackson (10). That's a crazy amount of players to score in double figures. Coming into the game, The Citadel had the fastest pace of any team in the country. Being completely out-matched by Iowa State, and trying to run at a fast pace was a recipe for disaster and led to the gaudy high scoring.
