Cyclone's Unbeaten Run Ends in Lubbock: Texas Tech Takes Down Iowa State

It was a tough one to swallow for Cyclone fans. Iowa State's undefeated streak came to a crashing halt in Lubbock, Texas, as the Red Raiders of Texas Tech pulled off a huge upset against the previously unbeaten Cyclones. The final score? A nail-biter: Texas Tech 65, Iowa State 62.

The Cyclones were rolling heading into this game, and their fans were dreaming of an undefeated season. They were looking like a legit contender in the Big 12. But Texas Tech had other plans. The Red Raiders came out firing on all cylinders, and Iowa State just couldn't find their rhythm.

The game was close throughout, but Texas Tech was able to create just enough separation in the final minutes to secure the victory. It was a gut-wrenching loss for the Cyclones, who had been playing so well up to this point.

What went wrong for Iowa State? Well, it wasn't just one thing. The Cyclones struggled from the three-point line, shooting only 25% from deep. Texas Tech, on the other hand, was lights out, shooting over 40% from beyond the arc.

The Red Raiders also had a huge advantage on the boards, outrebounding Iowa State by a significant margin. That physicality and aggressive rebounding really made the difference.

It's not the end of the world for Iowa State, but it's definitely a setback. They'll need to bounce back quickly and regroup if they want to continue their strong season. This loss is a reminder that no team is invincible, especially in the tough Big 12.

The Cyclones will be looking to bounce back next week, so let's hope they can get back to their winning ways! Go Cyclones!
