The Mid-Morning Dump - 2/14/13

A FAMILIAR SCENE. Iowa State fell victim to yet another desperation three to tie in regulation, then fell in double overtime to Texas, 89-86. Melvin Ejim had possibly the game of his life, racking up 20 points and 16 rebounds.

THINGS DON'T ALWAYS WORK OUT. Steve Malchow notes that 5 times this season the Cyclones have made more than 10 threes while turning it over less than 10 times.. and only last night was a loss.

DON'T BLAME FRED FOR NOT FOULING. Hoiberg ordered his guys to foul on the three by Ioannis Papapetrou, but the team was unable to do so.

BOOKER'S UNHAPPY. Anthony Booker asked the same question we've all been wondering: What did he do to justify no minutes while Percy Gibson keeps dribbling into double and triple teams?
