No. 5 Iowa State needs late surge to nip Dayton

Keshon Gilbert scored six of his 24 points in the final 44 seconds to propel No. 5 Iowa State to an 89-84 win over Dayton in the consolation bracket of the Maui Invitational on Tuesday in Lahaina, Hawaii. Curtis Jones delivered 19 points off the bench as Iowa State (4-1) recovered from an agonizing loss to No. 4 Auburn in the opening round on Monday. It was a tie game when Gilbert drew a flagrant foul with 44 seconds left and then swished two free throws to give the Cyclones the lead for good. Then, as Iowa State retained possession, Gilbert made a daring drive down the lane and scored high off the glass to make it 85-81 with 26 seconds to go.
