The Cyclones were royally kicking some butt, and they were in the Cowboy's house. Alas, the gap slipped away. In the last six seconds of the game, there was a foul on Shawn Bankhead, and Desmond Mason of the Cowboys makes both. With a four-point lead, it was over. Basketball has always been a fast paced game.
Teams run up large leads quickly.
But Iowa State had control of the board from the first seconds of the game to the last five minutes. I am searching for reasons for yesterday's loss. I don't know what to say. Iowa State seemed to get worse as the season dragged on. But I wouldn't blame it on fatigue.
