The teams traded baskets out of the timeout until a Carroll three tied the game at 58 with 1:42 remaining.

Iowa State's Monte Morris made two free throws with 13 seconds left to help secure the win for the Cyclones.

Oklahoma State couldn't have asked for a much better start to the first half, jumping out to a quick 7-0 lead.

The Cowboys eventually led 12-3 at the second media timeout with 11:15 left after a Chris Olivier layup.

Leyton Hammonds jumper with 6:09 remaining until halftime stopped an Iowa State run and cut the Oklahoma State deficit to 15-14, and an Olivier jumper the following possession off a Hammonds assist gave the Cowboys a 16-14 lead.
