EIGHT SPORTS POWERED BY CARLSON AUTO GROUP. WHAT A NIGHT. IOWA STATE LOOKING FOR A FIRST BIG 12 WIN THIS YEAR. OKLAHOMA WAS LAST WEEK. THE GANTLET CONTINUED. IT WAS THE SECOND RANKED TEAM IN THE COUNTRY COMING TO TOWN. IOWA STATE WAS LOOKING TO BE THE FIRST TEAM TO BEAT HOUSTON THIS SEASON. COUGARS LEARNED THE DEFINITION OF HILTON MAGIC EARLY BECAUSE IOWA STATE STARTED THIS GAME ON A 14 ZERO RUN. THEY’RE UP TEN. NOTHING HERE CURTIS JONES THE ALLEY OOP TO HASSAN WARD WAS NOT A HUGE CROWD TONIGHT BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER. STUDENTS STILL ON BREAK BUT THEY WERE JUICED. LOOK AT THAT CUT FROM TREY KING. MY GOODNESS WHAT A PLAY. LIKE I SAID 14. NOTHING. IT TOOK SIX MINUTES FOR HOUSTON TO GET THEIR FIRST BUCKET. THEY’RE UP 20 TO 9 HERE. CYCLONES MAKE IT 20 TO 11 AFTER THAT. NICE DUNK BY HOUSTON MILAN MOMCILOVIC YOU’RE GOING TO SEE MORE OF HIM LATER. HITS THE JUMPER. GIVES IOWA STATE A 29 TO 19 LEAD. IT’S 2921 HERE RIGHT BEFORE THE END OF THE HALF. OFF THE GLASS FOR TAMIN LIPSEY. THEY WOULD TAKE A TEN POINT LEAD INTO THE HALF. SECOND HALF THINGS GOT TIGHT. CYCLONES ONLY UP ONE. AND HOUSTON ON THAT BUCKET. THERE FROM JAMAL SHEED GET THEIR FIRST LEAD OF THE GAME. AND FROM THERE IT’S A SEESAW BACK AND FORTH. GREAT PASS. BIG ROB ENERGY ROB JONES OFF THE GLASS. HE’S BEEN FANTASTIC THIS YEAR. AND WE’RE TIED AT 53. TIME OUT IOWA STATE. AND THEY DRAW THIS UP MOMCILOVIC DOUBLE TEAMED REVERSE FADEAWAY OPPOSITE SHOULDER. KNOCKS IT DOWN IOWA STATE TAKES A 5553 LEAD. NOW THEY JUST NEED THAT DEFENSIVE STOP. WAY OFF IOWA STATE GOES ON TO WIN THIS GAME 5753. ON A COLD NIGHT THAT KEPT FANS AWAY. HILTON MAGIC DOES IT AGAIN. WHAT A NIGHT. FOR MORE WE SEND IT TO SHANNON EARHART IN AMES. IOWA. THE STATE HANDED THE ONLY UNDEFEATED TEAM IN THE COUNTRY ITS FIRST LOSS RIGHT HERE WITH A LITTLE BIT OF HILTON MAGIC. ALL THE SNOW AND STUFF. THEY STILL SHOWED OUT AND THEY WERE LOUD. I THINK THEY HELPED US A LOT AND BROUGHT A LOT OF ENERGY TO US. I MEAN, I THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY LOUD, ONE OF THE LOUDEST PLACES I’VE EVER PLAYED IN. HILTON COLISEUM PEAKED WHEN MILAN MOMCILOVIC DRILLED THE GO AHEAD FADEAWAY JUMPER. I MEAN, DREAMING ABOUT IT. I MEAN, THAT’S COOL, BUT ACTUALLY HAVING HAPPENED, I MEAN, THAT’S SURREAL. UM, VERSUS THE NUMBER TWO TEAM IN THE COUNTRY. SO I MEAN THAT’S IT’S AN AMAZING FEELING TO SEE A FRESHMAN WANT THE BALL, MAKE A SHOT WITH THAT DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY AT THAT POINT IN THE GAME, AND THEN GO TO THE FOUL LINE AND FINISH THE JOB WAS REALLY IMPRESSIVE. BUT THE BASKET ISN’T WHY THE CYCLONES WON. I THINK OUR WHOLE TEAM KNOWS THAT YOU WIN GAMES WITH DEFENSE, ESPECIALLY DOWN THE LAST COUPLE MINUTES OF THE GAME. IT’S GOING TO BE WHO GETS MORE STOPS. SO THAT’S REALLY WHAT WE WERE FOCUSED ON IN THAT SECOND HALF. AND WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO CRUNCH TIME AND JUST GET STOPS AND GET STOPS, GET STOPS IN, THE OFFENSE IS GOING TO CREATE ITS OWN. IOWA STATE TURNED OVER HOUSTON 12 TIMES IN THE FIRST HALF, 16 TOTAL, SCORING 17 POINTS OFF OF THOSE TURNOVERS. YEAH I MEAN, I FELT LIKE OUR GUYS WERE THE MORE AGGRESSIVE TEAM. I MEAN, WE WE PLAYED MORE, UH, PHYSICAL. UM, WE WERE THE MORE RESILIENT TEAM. WE MADE MORE PLAYS AND WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, ALL THE RESPECT IN THE WORLD FOR THEIR PROGRAM AND WHAT THEY’VE DONE. BUT, UM, NOBODY’S GOING TO COME IN HERE AND PUSH US AROUND. NOBODY’S GOING TO COME IN HERE AND BULLY US. NOBODY’S GOING TO COME IN HERE. AND, YOU KNOW, NOT REAL HAPPY ABOUT BEING UNDERDOG. NOT THAT WE FOLLOW ANY OF THAT SORT OF THING, BUT NOBODY’S GOING TO CALL US THE UNDERDOG AT HILTON COLISEUM. DEFINITELY A STATEMENT WIN FOR THE CYCLONES. HILTON COLISEUM WILL SEE ITS NEXT CHALLENGER ON SATURDAY AT 5 P.M. THAT’S EIGHT AND SEVEN OKLAHOMA
