LET'S GO CYCLONES!!
Today I took Nolan over to Hilton Coliseum, where we watched the #6 Iowa State Cyclones survive a scare from the West Virginia Mountaineers, 71-64. Coming into the game, I was expecting this to be an easy win for Iowa State. West Virginia was last place in the Big 12 Conference, but give them credit for keeping the game close. The Mountaineers opened up the game on fire, as they led 11-2. Iowa State would respond to take a 40-30 lead at halftime. In the second half West Virginia came back to take the lead 51-50 with about 9 minutes left to play. Then Iowa State went on a 14-0 run that ended up putting the game away.
I would say that Tamin Lipsey was the player of the game for the Cyclones, as he led the team with 14 points and 6 assists. The only other player for Iowa State in double figures scoring was Curtis Jones (12).
Today's game was the 36th men's basketball game that I have taken Nolan to. It was the second time that he has witnessed a win vs West Virginia (2022). As for myself, this was the seventh game that I have watched between the Cyclones and Mountaineers (and the fifth win). Iowa State also came out on top in 2022, 2019, 2018, and in 2013. West Virginia won in 2020 and 2017.
