Iowa State fell behind 22-2 at the outset and never recovered in a 59-41 loss to Pitt in the opening round of the NCAA Tournament in Greensboro. The Cyclones’ futility on offense was mind boggling. They made only 14 of 60 shots, including two of 21 from three point range and only topped the 40 point mark during garbage time.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger who talked about the slow start.

Iowa State closes the season with a record of 19-14.
