Stillwater, okla. – Iowa state basketballThe push arrived a little too late in a match he dragged all along.
Unfortunately for cyclones, they were on the wrong side of an upheaval and an assault court against Oklahoma State, which participated in the Tuesday evening match below .500. THE Cowboys Give the tone of the opening tip with their disruptive and relentless game.
The state of Iowa could not get out of the hole against the cowboys, which did not look like a team that had struggled throughout the conference.
The crowd of Gallagher-Iba Arena fueled the frenzy while the Oklahoma State has maintained its advance in the wire victory.
The Iowa State has been late in the first half against the Cowboys, which obtained their greatest victory of the season in an upheaval against the ninth cyclones, 74-68.
“We said to our guys entering this match that they are a very well trained team,” said Iowa state coach Tj Otzelberger. “They will play extremely hard. Coach (Steve) Lutz does a great job. I have a lot of respect for the work he does to establish his culture and how hard these guys play, so credit to them.
“They put us on our heels. They were the most aggressive team and must certainly recognize the excellent work they have done.”
The cyclones managed to fight and get closer to four points when Joshua Jefferson hit consecutive baskets to make a deficit of 66-62 with 2:04 to play, but it would be the closest they would get.
Jefferson led with 17 points, eight rebounds, five assists, three interceptions and a block. Nate Heise collected 13 points and six rebounds. Milan Momcilovic added 10 points.
Curtis Jones collected 11 points out of 2 out of 8 by shooting on the bench during his first game of the disease after missing the match on Saturday in Houston. Meanwhile, Keshon Gilbert missed his second consecutive match due to muscle tension.

“I stayed focused on the game plan, we went to practice and we simply have no self-influent errors on the defensive and do everything correctly,” said Arturo Dean, state-of-the-art guardian Oklahoma, about the capacity of cowboys to force turnover. “The rotations, all the aspects taking place in the lines, but remained concentrated in 40 whole minutes.”
The state of Oklahoma also had the edge on the glass early. Although the state of the Iowa concluded the rebound gap in the second half, the cowboys exceeded their enemies 21-15 in the first half, including eight offensive rebounds which have become 10 second chance points-all the Ingredients that helped Oklahoma State.
“Unacceptable,” said Otzelberger about the first half of the cyclones. “We knew that they were going to play extremely strong. We had to keep the ball out of the painting and we knew on the other end, we had to put the ball in painting. They won these two battles, they turned us on and transform it into points.
The state of the Iowa came out of the second half with a renewed effort and a despair to retaliate in the game. The cyclones have shaken a 9-0 race which allowed them to reduce the deficit to a figure to one figure. They started to force the reversals and cleaned their game on the glass.
The cowboys have re -expressed their advance, but the state of Iowa did not go quietly.
The cyclones organized a late -desperate push late and lowered the margin to four, Bryce Thompson and Dean had some baskets in the moments of closing to seal the victory of the cowboys.
“They were physical, they sort of accelerated us and we have somehow left guys on the islands,” said Heise about what was so difficult to finish the return. “As the coach mentioned, they caused a lot of reversals this way, then came out in transition.”
Abu Ousmane led the cowboys with 25 points, six rebounds and four interceptions. Dean collected 14 points, four rebounds, four assists and seven interceptions. Thompson collected 11 points. Marchelus Avery had 10 points on the bench.
Oklahoma State pulled 42.4% in total and 6 out of 23 (26.1%) beyond the arc.
