Today Matthew Kovarna and I went to Hilton Coliseum where we watched Iowa State dominate the Texas A&M Aggies, 69-46. 

This game was not nearly as stressful as the last one that Elizabeth and I went to.  In fact the entire second half was kind of boring... in a good way.  I won't be the one to complain about a blow out conference win for the Cyclones!  This game marks the final regular season Big 12 conference game between Iowa State and Texas A&M, and it will likely be the last time they play for a very long time.  That is unless they meet up in the Big 12 conference tournament later this season. 

The crowd today was a good one.  This was the 3rd sell-out crowd of the season at Hilton (Kansas and Iowa were the others).  A few times it got pretty loud, but for the most part there wasn't much to go crazy about.  Royce White and Anthony Booker had a few big dunks that were fun, and Chris Allen led all scorers with 25 points.  Iowa State's largest lead was 33 points, but after we put our subs in the final score ended up being a little closer. 

Just before tip-off.

There was a very good crowd at the game; almost no empty seats!

ISU had a great game defensively as they held the Aggies to under 20 points in the first half.

Kovarna with the final score: Cyclones 69, Aggies 46.

There were "Go Cyclones" cards placed on all of the seats before the game.

Another fun note about today's game was the chants that the crowd was making at the end of the game.  Everyone was chanting "S-E-C" and then "Na na na na, hey, hey, hey, Goodbye".
