Welp - it's 40-23 now as Iowa State has opened the second half on a 10-0 run. These two teams had played two close/fierce battles. Houston is capable of making a run with its defense, though. This result (IF it plays out) could open things up for Connecticut as the overall #1 perhaps.
Candidly, I will say that to me Houston and Connecticut had been playing slightly better than Purdue lately......some of that is being stuck in the Big Ten quagmire.
I really just want to see how focused Purdue comes out next week. Reserving judgment and no expectations.....haha.
Yes, don't think I want to see Iowa State in the Tourney. One of a few teams, when on, can run you out of the gym.
