Iowa State Cyclones 77 - Oklahoma Sooners 70 | Beyond The Box Score

Epic! That's the word that I would use to best describe Oklahoma's meltdown against Iowa State in Ames on Monday night. The Sooners had their best chance in years at a share of the Big 12 crown right in their hands and they literallylet it slip away. While you have to give the Cyclones their due credit for mounting the comeback, you also have to believe that this is a team that's going to be asking, what if, for a long time.
