Head coach Nate Oats looks on during Buffalo's exhibition game last month. Iowa State fans have raised more than $12,000 for Oats and his family after his wife Crystal was diagnosed with double-hit lymphoma.
For two hours on Monday night, the Buffalo men’s basketball team and Iowa State were rivals.
But outside of those two hours, the two teams have worked together for causes bigger than a basketball game.
In just four days, Iowa State fans have helped raise more than $12,000 for Bulls head coach Nate Oats and his wife, Crystal, who is currently battling double-hit lymphoma.
