Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Houston shot just 26% from the field as Iowa State hounded them all over the court. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that Houston's poor shooting was solely due to Iowa State's defense when in fact there were other factors at play such as fatigue and injuries. Secondly, the article states that Houston entered the Big 12 tournament deserving of their No. 1 ranking but then goes on to say that they lost by two games and had won only one game since losing to Iowa State. This contradicts itself and creates a false sense of security for Houston's position in the rankings. Lastly, the article states that there is concern for Houston ahead of the tournament due to injuries but fails to provide any evidence or context as to how these injuries will affect their performance.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Houston entered the Big 12 tournament deserving of its No. 1 ranking in the AP Top 25 and had won eleven straight games before losing to Iowa State. However, this is not a valid argument as rankings are subjective and can vary from source to source.

Bias
(85%)
The article contains multiple examples of religious bias. The author uses phrases such as 'the second-best defensive team in the Big 12 behind Houston' and 'Houston shot just 26% from the field', implying that Houston is not a good team because they are not shooting well, despite their success throughout the season. Additionally, there is no mention of any other teams with poor shooting percentages or how they performed in comparison to Houston.

Deception
(90%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that Houston was outscored 39-18 in the second half but fails to mention that Iowa State scored only one point during a stretch of over six minutes. This omission makes the score look worse than it actually is and gives an unfair advantage to Iowa State.
Iowa State turned a 30-23 lead at halftime into the kind of blowout Sampson has rarely experienced with an 18-3 run to start the second half.
Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the Cyclones have won six championships in a row and five different programs over the years. This is not evidence for their superiority but rather a statement about their past successes. Additionally, there are multiple instances where the author makes statements without providing any supporting evidence or context, such as when they say 'Iowas State turned a 30-23 lead at halftime into the kind of blowout Sampson has rarely experienced with an 18-3 run to start the second half.' This statement is not supported by any data or statistics and therefore cannot be considered true. The author also uses inflammatory rhetoric when they describe Houston as having 'off-balance runners' and long 3s at the end of the shot clock, which may be seen as an attempt to belittle their opponents rather than provide a fair analysis of the game. Overall, while there are no formal fallacies present in this article, it contains several examples of informal fallacies that could potentially impact its credibility.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Houston's early shooting woes led to a 28-point loss against Iowa State. However, this statement is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and can be seen as an attempt to shift blame away from other factors such as poor defense or lack of strategy on offense. Secondly, the author quotes Jamal Shead saying that Houston's shooting was a problem but does not provide any context for why he believes this is true. This statement could also be interpreted as an attempt to deceive readers by presenting one player's opinion without providing any evidence to support it. Lastly, the article mentions that UH guard Jamal Shead finished with 10 points and backcourt teammate LJ Cryer finished with five points for the game. However, this information is not relevant to the topic of deception in the article and could be seen as an attempt to distract readers from other important details.

Additionally, the author only mentions Jamal Shead and LJ Cryer from UH while mentioning multiple players from ISU. This creates a disproportionate number of quotes reflecting a specific position.
