Second half part Two

11:51 left, Hubalek to shoot one-and one..first one up and down. Second one up and down. Sooners by three, 44-41, and ISU fans trying to rally the troops.

11:39 OU hits an and-one. Free throw up and down, OU by six.

Clark is back in the bench, looks to be OK.

11:28 Taylor with a nice dish to Johnson who finished. Sooners by four

11:11 Sooners run the same play as last time and it works to perfection.

11:00 Taylor with a reverse layup. Sooners lead cut to four ... again

10:10 Johnson picks up his fourth foul...and that one hurts. Sooners by four with the ball.

9:23 Hubalek picked up his fourth foul. Ouch. Hubalek and Johnson with four apiece. That's rough. First shot up, rims around and falls. Second shot up and down. Sooners by 6, 51-45. Cyclones need a bucket right now.

9:03 McIntosh to Gray who dunked it home. OU up by four.

8:28 Cyclones with a chance to cut the lead to two and Taylor carried the ball. That one stings a lot. Iowa State has not been able to get any closer than four.

8:07 Sooners to the line for a one-and-one. First one up and down. Second one up and and no good. Sooners by five, 52-47.

7:52 Taylor hits a three. Sooners by two, 52-50.

7:35 Sooners respond with a layup, go back up by four, 54-50.

With Johnson and Hubalek still on the bench Iowa State needs to come up with something. Clark with a turnaround jumper. Good to see him back in the game. OU up 54-52.

5:50 Another foul on the Cyclones, OU to shoot two. First one up and down. Second one up and missed. OU up three, 55-52. Big possession here for the Cyclones, and Taylor was rejected.

5:08 Taylor shooting one-and-one First one up and down. Second one up and down. OU by one, 55-54.

4:36 Taylor with a runner, connects, ISU up 56-55. First lead of the game for the Cyclones. Timeout Oklahoma.

Bill Fennelly chanting for the men's team in the crowd. The chant is Cyclone Power, and Fennelly is making himself be heard. I'd like to see him in a cheerleader outfit like what Pat Summit did for Bruce Pearl's squad.

4:07 OU with a putback, Sooners by one, 57-56. Big possession again for the Cyclones.

My thoughts right now: At least Iowa State made it respectable. They played a good second half..If they could only put two halves like this together, they would have won a few more games this season.

3:35 Johnson had an open look but couldn't get a handle on the ball, turnover, Cyclones. Not good.

2:29 OU for three, up by four. Crowd goes wild, Cyclones in trouble. Down, but not out just yet. They desperatley need a bucket on this possession, though.

Nothing's falling for the Cyclones, and with 1:45 left, it looks bleak. 60-56 OU leads.

And down the stretch they come. Get Medders on the court.

1:16 After a shot clock violation, the Cyclones have a little life, but it's loud. Very loud.

Another turnover. 59.2 seconds left.

54.2 seconds, OU makes its first free throw. Second one up and missed, OU rebound, Hubalek fouls out. This one's done, folks.

Rough season, but we'll see how next year goes for G McD and his crew. This was a transition year, and everyone expected it to be.

See if the women can pull off a HUGE upset tonight. I'll be there. Hope you'll be there with me.

FINAL SCORE: OKLAHOMA, 68, IOWA STATE 63
