ISU 81 Texas Tech 68
Hilton Magic strikes again! So, let's look at the numbers. A five game winning streak, three of those wins against ranked teams. The team stays in a tie with Texas for 5th in the conference and moves up to .500 in conference play.
Tech was on fire early but ISU weathered the storm. Ronald Ross is a hell of a player for them and he really hit his shots today. The highlights of the game have to be the great passes. Blalock and Stinson looked like Tinsley out there today. Behind the back, over the shoulder, no-look, anything you could think of. Homan was the biggest beneficiary scoring 23 points to break out of his mini-slump. It seemed like everybody put up great lines today. Stinson 13-6-7, Blalock, 15-6-6-4 steals, Tasheed Carr 17-8-5-3.
Once again they played some great defense and forced a lot steals, holding Tech to 13 below their season average. 13 steals today and 18 total turnover for Tech. They did a good job of keeping the tempo up and hitting shots when they needed them. Things are looking a lot better for the Cyclones' tournament chances.
