Tonight Elizabeth and I brought both boys over to Hilton to watch the Cyclones defeat Alcorn State, 78-58.  The boys seemed to have fun for the most part, but I'm not sure that they payed much attention to the game at all... mostly they were just being goof balls and playing in our row of seats.  Luckily there were a number of open seats next to us tonight, so they had a little space to roam around in.  We bought some cotton candy to help keep them happy.

As for the game, the Cyclones got off to a slow start and only led by 1 point at halftime, 33-32.  Donovan Jackson was the player of the game for ISU, as he led the team in scoring with 25 points.  He connected on 7 of 15 three-point attempts.  Lindell Wigginton (16) and Cameron Lard (15) also scored in double-digits for Iowa State. 

Tonight was Nolan's 12th basketball game that he has been to (previous games can be found here), and it was Maxwell's 5th (last year vs. The Citadel, Baylor, and TCU, and this year vs. Emporia State were the other games).  We didn't bother with my usual scoreboard picture after the game because we had to get the kids home and put them to bed at a reasonable hour.

It's hard to get both boys to look at the camera at the same time, let alone smile...
