It was absolutely brutal to observe on Friday. The Iowa State Cyclones put on a clinic of what not to do in an NCAA Tournament matchup.
Iowa State shot a meager 2/21 from beyond the arc as they fell to Pitt 59-41. That breaks down to just 9.5% from three and 23.3% from the field on 14 of 60 shots made. It wasn’t much better from the charity stripe as they would sink just 11 of 19 attempts.
On the other side of the court, the Panthers shot 34.1% from the field with the same number of field goals, 14. However, Pitt was able to hit six of their 19 attempts from deep. The team would shoot 86.2% from the free throw line hitting 25 of 29 attempts.
Following the game, Twitter was alive and well. Check out some of the best tweets from during and after the game.
