“BYU deserves a lot of credit in how they came in here and how they played, but at the same time we know we had our chances and we had our opportunities,” Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger told reporters after the game. “So that should be frustrating, and then what you do is you learn from it and become better for it.”

Iowa State shifted to a small-ball lineup throughout the second half and remainder of the game. T.J. Otzelberger discussed its effectiveness.

Iowa State did a good job getting back into the game, but head coach TJ Otzelberger was disappointed that it even got to that point.
