Cyclone players reflect on loss to Ole Miss in NCAA tournament
MILWAUKEE, Wisc. — The Iowa State Cyclone men's basketball team suffered a disappointing loss Sunday night in the NCAA basketball tournament, ending a season of promise in which the team reached its highest AP ranking ever at No. 2. The Cyclones fell short against Ole Miss in the Round of 32, by a score of 91-78. 'They're a team that plays with a lot of toughness,' said Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger. 'They're connected defensively, their switching can be disruptive. At times it wears on you mentally, you're not able to get the ball in the paint and not get the normal plays that you want to make.' WHO 13 Sports' Mark Freund has a wrap-up of the game and players' reactions to the heartbreaking end of the season. Ole Miss moves on to the Sweet 16 for just the second time in program history.
