In the previous five meetings combined between the Iowa State Cyclones and Oklahoma Sooners, games were, on average, decided by just 3.8 points. While recent history shows the two teams tend to play close, Iowa State was able to pull away early in the second half and thump the Sooners for an 80-64 victory.
Freshman Solomon Young got his first start of the season for Iowa State as the Cyclones started the game much differently than their previous game against the Texas Longhorns, grabbing a 28-20 lead over Oklahoma before the Sooners came roaring back and took a 29-28 lead.
