It didn’t last too long — it happened before free throws with 1:33 left in the game — but the Iowa State fans came through. Hilton Coliseum is now, to my knowledge, the northernmost venue to hear an “S-E-C!” chant. (There was also “Na-na-na-na, hey hey hey, goodbye,” which I believe happened with Colorado too.) I don’t know the location of the northernmost non-sarcastic chant, though.
Final score: ISU 69, A&M 46. A proper eviction.
Related, yet not: A recap of the Jan. 29 women’s game from A&M’s perspective. Plus, a series of pictures from the cross-court drive that resulted in a foul on Chelsea Poppens and the free throws that won the game for A&M. First, Nikki Moody gets absolutely clocked, then the whistle’s blown on Poppens (who, admittedly, did her best to flop) despite the arm thrust out at her.
