Through the first 10 minutes of Saturday’s 69-86 loss, Iowa State jumped out to a 20-14 lead over the Texas Longhorns. The offense looked fine, the defense was okay, and by no stretch of the imagination did I think the Cyclones would end up getting annihilated by the 15-13 Longhorns.
Boy was I wrong.
Iowa State proceeded to not score a field goal during the next 8 minutes of play, and Texas never looked back. In this week’s version of How the Game was Lost I take a look at the scoring drought that sent the Cyclones limping home, and left fans everywhere frustrated.
