A top-6 matchup that lived up to the hype. A true battle between 2 of the very best teams in the nation. Landon, very wisely, brought up how Iowa State wasn’t getting a lot of buzz despite being ranked #6 in the nation. They proved him right with this win. It wasn’t easy. This was a back-and-forth matchup pretty much all game long. Flemings and Sharp were the driving forces for Houston while Mercy Miller had an emphatic poster. Iowa State managed to keep up with a more complete team effort. Just when it looked like the Cougars were gonna put them down, the Cyclones stormed back and grabbed the win from the jaws of defeat. Iowa State can thank their shooting for that comeback, including a couple 3s from Heise and Bateman that gave them the lead and a block (at least I thought it was a block) that stopped Houston’s last good chance to tie it up. In reality, it was interior superiority on both sides that helped them keep up with the Cougars while the 3s were the boost they needed to win.
