The winless Iowa State Cyclones didn’t play like it, and Lon Kruger’s No. 9 Oklahoma basketball Sooners escaped with a 79-72 home victory on Saturday.
Iowa State, which has yet to win a conference game in eight tries and is just 2-11 on the season, rained three-balls throughout the game and with 48 points coming on 16 made three-point shots kept this game close right down to the end.
