The Iowa State men’s basketball team spends a lot of time in practice working on special situations.
The 19th-ranked Cyclones found themselves in one late in their 82-77 win over No. 1 Oklahoma on Monday.
Leading by two points with four seconds to play after an Oklahoma basket, the Cyclones ran an old standard from under their own hoop to secure a victory.
Georges Niang threw the ball across the baseline to Matt Thomas out of bounds, where Sooners defender Isaiah Cousins seemingly lost track of where he was because he followed Thomas out of bounds and hit the ball, drawing a technical foul.
