Top-seeded Longhorns meet their match in scrappy Cyclones who earn automatic bid to NCAA...
Texas guard Rori Harmon attempts to get past Iowa State guard Denae Fritz during the first half of the NCAA college basketball championship game of the Big 12 Conference tournament, Sunday, March 12, 2023, in Kansas City, Mo.KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Everyone in Municipal Auditorium seemed ready for another cage fight Sunday afternoon.
That style tends to favor Big 12 co-champ and No. 1 seed Texas. The Longhorns are towering. They’re tough. They live to scrap – a prerequisite for anyone playing under third-year coach Vic Schaefer. Down one at the half, Iowa State overtook Texas on a couple of free throws 13 seconds into the third quarter. The Longhorns grabbed the lead back with a couple inside finished from junior forwards Khadija Faye and DeYona Gaston.
Texas’ frustration started to boil over in the fourth quarter as the shooting malaise continued. After Joens powered in a contested layup to give Iowa State a 10-point lead, its biggest of the game to that point, Harmon slammed the ball in frustration as the Longhorns huddled up for a media timeout.
