Watching the first half, I thought ISU was cooked: Nebraska was making both threes and scoring in the paint, and ISU was struggling to keep up.
But the defensive effort in the second half allowed ISU to make a 26-12 run to open the game up, and solid free throw shooting down the stretch iced it for the Cyclones when Nebraska crawled back in. Hilton started jumping during that stretch after halftime, and you could smell the good times coming back.
Trust me, TV people absolutely love Hilton at full roar, and it was getting good for about 8 minutes of clock time in the second half.
The yellow ponchos on Cyclone Alley was a little silly, but it looked great on TV.
Too bad the Jayhawks appear to be at top form right now. Pull that one off, Mac, and there will be a brawl to get the last seats on the bandwagon.
