Today Eben came down to spend the day playing with the grandkids, and then he joined me at the game to watch the Cyclones handle the Longhorns. Iowa State seemed in control for most of the game tonight as they led by as many as 14 points in the second half. Deonte Burton was the player of the game for Iowa State, as he scored a game-high 27 points. Burton even made a three-pointer right before the half to put the Cyclones up nine, 40-31. Monte Morris also played a very complete game for the Cyclones as he scored 22 points, collected 10 rebounds, and dished out 6 assists. The only other player in double figures for Iowa State was Naz Long, who had 11 points. I will remember one bone-head play by Naz in this game. At one point he had a break away where he was all by himself, and he tried to dunk it with two hands. He missed the dunk, and then he was called for a technical foul for hanging on the rim afterwards.
This is the sixth time that I have seen Iowa State play (and defeat) Texas. The others were back in 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, and back in 2004.
