While things were ugly for the Red Raiders who didn’t score more than 21 in either half, they did have one nice play to remember.
Early in the first half, forward Zach Smith was found wide open and left alone for an open dunk.
He didn’t just dunk it either, he slammed the basketball home with authority.
Unfortunately for Texas Tech, that would be about it for the day when it comes to memorable plays.
That’s even if they want to remember anything from a game where they got hammered by almost 40 points. As for Iowa State, after No. 10 Notre Dame got throttled by No. 4 Duke, the Cyclones could be in position to move up when the newest Top 25 standings are released.
There has been some ugly basketball played thus far today. Fortunately enough for everyone watching at home, there has been enough highlight reel slams and blocks to keep everyone content.
