The Cyclones erased a six-point deficit with just over three minutes to play. ISU senior guard Scott Christopherson banked in a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give the Cyclones a stunning 71-68 victory against visiting Oklahoma State.

The win for Iowa State (13-5, 3-2 Big 12) came two months to the day after Iowa State knocked off No. 2 Oklahoma State in football, 37-31 in double overtime.

Trailing 60-58 with 4:54 remaining, Oklahoma State (9-9, 2-3 Big 12) got a pair of 3-pointers in 53 seconds from senior guard Keiton Page to take a four-point lead with four minutes on the clock.

The Cyclones cut the lead to one from a Christopherson layup, but Page was fouled by Royce White with 1:10 to play and knocked down two free throws, bringing the lead to 68-65. On the Cowboys’ next possession, ISU junior guard Tyrus McGee pulled down a rebound off a missed 3, dribbled down the floor and knocked down a 3 of his own to tie the game at 68-68 with 15.4 seconds remaining.

On defense, McGee made another clutch play forcing a turnover by OSU guard Markel Brown to give Iowa State 4.8 seconds for a final shot. Christopherson inbounded the ball to junior guard Chris Babb who passed it back to Christopherson who dribbled down the floor and made the game-winner from a few feet outside the arc.

McGee, Christopherson and White all finished with 17 points to lead the Cyclones. McGee added a season-high nine rebounds to lead all players. Page and freshman forward LeBryan Nash each scored 21 points to lead the Cowboys who dropped their second straight game in conference play.

Iowa State will hit the road on Saturday traveling to Lubbock, Texas, to face Texas Tech (7-10, 0-5 Big 12). Tipoff is scheduled for 4 p.m.
