Cyclones Can’t Summit Mountaineers, Lose 70-85

Terrence Lewis opened up the Cyclones scoring, followed by two Jeff Bae-verly buckets to put up ISU 7-4. Lindell had a pair of free throws to keep the Cyclones close, and then a Lard block led to about a 40 second lull in scoring for both teams.

A Lindell Wigginton three would cut the WV lead to one, however the Mountaineers would go on an 11-2 run to end the half as they’d go up 39-30.

WVU held the Cyclones without a field goal for the last 4:30 of the half. Wigginton led the way with 12 points, and Talley (the Hoegemeyer Hybrids player of the Half) had 5 points, 4 assists, 3 boards, and 2 steals.

Cameron Lard would open up the scoring in the second half, and :45 seconds into the second stanza and also at 16:11 left, @Big12Refs would make an appearance.

Terrence Lewis would continue scoring in this half, hitting his 3rd with 11:55 left in the game.

The story of the second half would be best described as decently close but far away from success. Lard had a fantastic dunk at the 8:05 mark.

The Cyclones tried to high-octane their way into a comeback, but the ‘Eers were det’Eermined to make our comeback futile.

Lindell had a banked three that sort of sparked the aforementioned comeback attempt.

Beverly, in his amazing quality to close out games, hit a jumper to end the scoring for both teams and the WV squad would win by 15.
