No. 15 Iowa State picked up another win over a top-25 opponent in a 79-70 victory over No. 21 Texas.
This game was about as much of a must-win that a game can be in mid-January, as a lost would’ve sent Iowa State to 1-4 before heading to Lubbock on Tuesday.
Iowa State’s offense came out of the gates sluggish, going scoreless through the first few minutes of the game, but got in a rhythm for the remainder of the half. Iowa State led at the break 38-31, it should’ve been 41-31, but the Big 12 hates fun.
