Iowa State (18-9, 10-5 Big 12) snuck out a late win in Lubbock, Texas, on Monday night, beating Texas Tech (17-11, 5-10 Big 12) 82-80 in overtime to earn its fourth straight win.

Naz Mitrou-Long and Matt Thomas got things started for the Cyclones, putting up the first 20 points of the game to give them a five-point lead after 10 minutes of play. The Red Raiders, though, stormed back and kept things close through the end of the first half. Heading into the locker room, the game was tied 39-39. 

Thomas led the way with 16 first half points, going 3-of-4 from behind the arc. As a team, Iowa State shot 64 percent from three-point land, netting nine 3-pointers. 

The two teams stayed tight throughout the majority of the second half. With less than 30 seconds left in regulation, Iowa State had a 72-71 lead. Iowa State point guard Monte Morris split a pair of free throws, and then was matched by a pair of Texas Tech free throws to tie the game up at 73-73. The Red Raiders had one final attempt to hit a three, but it didn’t fall, sending the game into overtime.

With 10.1 seconds left in overtime, Iowa State held a 82-80 lead, yet did not hit a field goal in the extra time — only scoring on free throws. Texas Tech went down for one final shot — a deep three attempt from Devon Thomas — yet failed to get a shot off in time, giving Iowa State the two-point win.

With the win, the Cyclones are now tied for second place in the Big 12 conference. They will take on No. 9 Baylor on Saturday at Hilton Coliseum.
