First half, part II

11:29 left, Oklahoma 16, Iowa State 12.

Quick reminder -- Brent Blum, KASI sports talk show host and color analyst will blog during at the half.

9:54 McIntosh fouled shooting a three. Three more free throws on their way. First one up and no good. Second one up and down. Third one up and down. 18-14 Sooners.

9:39 There is a complete mismatch down low between OU's Carter and ISU's Gray.

9:22 3-pointer ISU. 18-17 Sooners.

9:00 Pep band taking credit for an OU missed free-throw. Ha. 19-17 Sooners.

8:37 Team foul number six on OU...Iowa State shooting from here on out.

8:14 Team foul number six on ISU...OU shooting from here on out.

7:16 Blum calls the ref "Hollywood" cause he likes his hair. God, I've missed that. He may be the only man alive who can roll off every NCAA referee's name.

6:05 Hubalek cannot get it to fall. That spells trouble. Jiri is struggling, and so are the Cyclones. 23-17 Sooners, with free throws upcoming. First one up and down. Second one up and down. 25-17 Sooners.

5:35 Another ISU foul. Sooners shooting two. First one up and down. Second one up and down. 27-17 Sooners. Oklahoma is on an 8-0 run ... all free throws.

3:39 Cyclones can't buy a bucket, down 29-19. It's not surprising, but it doesn't make it any less disappointing. 12 of OU's 29 points have come from the free throw line. That's huge for them, a team that has nearly as much trouble scoring as the Cyclones do.

3:16 OU with an over-the-back call. ISU to shoot one one-and-one after the media timeout. First one up and down from Marsden. Second one misses. 29-20 OU.

2:53 OU for three. 32-20 and the game is starting to get out of control.

1:15 Taylor 3-ball. 32-23 Sooners.

55.9, timeout OU with 32 seconds to shoot. I'm sure they're going to get a shot off within 20, though, so they can have the last possession. Iowa State desperately needs a stop here.

43.5 Marsden takes a charge...questionable, but it went Iowa State's way, so no complaints here.

0.00 OU hits a three at the buzzer. 35-23 halftime score. Iowa State looks bad. I mean, really bad.

Stay tuned as Brent Blum chimes in his thoughts during the half. See you at the midway point of the second half.
