NORMAN, Oklahoma — About 10 minutes into Iowa State’s game against Oklahoma on Saturday, the Cyclones were off to one of their worst Big 12 starts in recent memory. They owned more turnovers than field goals and were trailing by 28-9 while shooting 1-for-9 from beyond the arc. 

But then a light flicked on. 

Iowa State (12-6, 4-3 Big 12) went on a 21-1 run — boosted by a pair of 3-pointers — to close out the last seven minutes of the first half. That run propelled the team to a 30-29 halftime lead.

The Cyclones continued to keep up with the Sooners and pulled out a 92-87 win against Oklahoma (8-10, 2-5 Big 12) in double overtime Saturday at the Lloyd Noble Center. 

The Cyclones’ momentum started to slip right out of the gate in the second half. The Sooners started to crawl away thanks to an eight-point stretch from Oklahoma guard Jordan Woodard, and led 53-50 just past the halfway point of the second half. 

But, similar to the first half, the Cyclones picked it back up thanks to a big stretch from forward Deonte Burton. Burton scored 14 points in a 16-point period for Iowa State, helping push the team back into the lead. 

The game remained back and forth. Heading into the final possession, the game was tied at 69. Burton took the ball up the court only to misplay the ball as time expired, sending the game to overtime. 

The Sooners looked to have control of the extra period, but the Cyclones came charging back and would have won the game if a Burton 3-pointer didn’t rattle out, forcing a double overtime.

Iowa State nailed back-to-back 3-pointers to take a quick lead in double overtime, and the team wouldn’t look back.
