Thanks for all the updates! Couldn't have followed the game without them

 

[BabHorn]

58-56 ISU with one more FT coming for ISU.

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Yes!!! Tied it with 5 secs to go. Don't let them score, and don't foul!!!!

 

[txtreefan]

Overtime. My nerves!

 

[BabHorn]

59 all, heading to OT after Chas hits a 3.

 

[hornsgeek]

YEEEEESSSSSSS!!!!! Chaz is MVP! So proud of the Horns!!!!

OT in Ames?! Never would have expected that.

Be smart. Be patient. You can do it.

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Oops that was 59-all with 5 mins on the clock for OT, not 5 secs to go. Great play at the end! Gotta pull this out now!

 

[BabHorn]

64-63 ISU & with the ball. 3 minutes to go. FTs really helping out ISU.

 

[overseasbbfan1]

TT upsets OSU on the road, 64-59.

 

[hornsgeek]

Tied at 65. Go horns!

 

[hornsgeek]

Down by 3. chaz at line. misses FT and foul on Texas. Ouch. Cokie fouled out. Double ouch.

4 players fouled out.

 

[BabHorn]

Poppens seals it for ISU with two FTs. 71-65 with less than 15 seconds.

 

[hornsgeek]

Damn, but what a phenomenal game by the Horns! Total team effort. They dug deep and played harder & better than anyone expected.

Tough loss, but the future looks bright!

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Tough loss but great game overall by the Horns. Careless early fouls gave ISU the easy bonus points, which was the difference. But we played two complete halves of basketball, didn't dig ourselves a hole at the outset, and hung tough all the way through. And four horns in double figures, inc a great effort by Roberts, with four three-pointers. Hopefully we will see more of that; players taking advantage when the coverage is focused elsewhere. We are getting better, and will continue to do so.

 

[BabHorn]

73-65 ISU in OT. Horns couldn't get a basket with 2 minutes to go. ISU won it on the FT line.

Tough loss but they got to regroup and get ready for OU. Lost track of that game so don't know who won just now.

 

[overseasbbfan1]

Definitely agree, have to re-group and get ready for OU this weekend. Horns should hold the heads high and feel great about their effort tonight. Even though it was a loss, this game should be a morale boost for the team.

 

[BabHorn]

Horns had four players foul out: Imani, Cokie, Celina and Empress. Cokie really looked good on offense when she was in.

 

[BabHorn]

OU pulled out a thriller 71-68 over WVU.

Some stats from the game-inability to convert FTs really hurt us as well as putting them on the FT line so much:

[pre] FGs 3pters FTs Rebs Fouls
Texas 24-61 .393 7-18 .389 10-19 .526 34 30
ISU 20-53 .377 6-22 .273 27-38 .711 36 16 [/pre]
