Woof. Foot off the gas to end the half.

 

[cyclo120]

Brutal finish to the half, but we all would have signed up for 10 point lead at half before the game.

Football, basketball, we suck in the final two minutes b4 half for as long as I can ever remember.

You forgot the VCU game?

 

[HFCS]

Lipsey, 6'1" point guard, has 8 first half rebounds against a #12 ranked major conference team.

come on now getting sloppy.

 

[alarson]

I feel about the opposite of how I did thursday. Felt like we had a good shot bringing it within 10 then, feel like they do now.

 

[CycloneErik]

Still up 10. Run some touchdown plays to open the 2nd half and we're good to go.

 

[cyclones500]

Good half with exception of the final 2-ish minutes.

 

[CychiatricWard]

Keshon loose again… and they get an offensive rebound and score as time expires. Up 35-14 and they go on an 11-0 run to end the half. That is absolutely inexcusable.

 

[cyfanbr]

Well crap. 21 or lead evaporated to 10 pts to end the half. Poor finish, but overall a good half played by us.

 

[CYDJ]

Gilbert making some silly mistakes toward the of the half. Dang it, do not like that 10 point run.

 

[atlantacyclone]

That was 2:44 of terrible basketball…

 

[madguy30]

If ISU doesn't get it together they'll get rung up pretty good here.

 

[fsanford]

Too many turnovers last 2 minutes, but still up 10. Better position than the other 2 games

 

[OKClones]

Last couple minutes a total disaster!

 

[cyfan92]

17 minutes of perfect performance. Then they go full cyclone wrestling in the last three...

 

[ISU_Guy]

If we could stop turning the ball over they would be up 25

And they just let the team right back into the game with like 15 points of turnovers go back to the locker room and talk it over guys… my Gosh.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Best half of the tournament and the most comfortable we’ve looked. Unfortunately, I think we went past comfortable to casual for the last few minutes and gave them hope and momentum.

 

[cyclonedave25]

The last 3 mins was the worst basketball I’ve seen in my life.

 

[cycloneworld]

8-0 (or 10-0?) run gonna get em back in the game. Dang.

11-0 in the last 2:44.
