Iowa State vs No. 7 Kansas State | Big 12 | 2.14.24

AMES, Iowa – February 14th, 2024

Iowa State (14-9, 8-5 Big 12) took down No. 7 Kansas State (21-4, 10-3 Big 12) in a double overtime thriller by a score of 96-93 Wednesday night. Iowa State secures the second Top-10 win and third Top-25 victory of the season.

The Cyclones took a 39-26 lead at half while holding the Wildcats to 27 percent shooting, with the second half proving to be a battle ending regulation tied at 72. Iowa State ended the game on 18-straight free throws, including going a perfect 14-of-14 in overtime to seal the victory.

The Cyclones secure the 19th Top-10 win in school history and the second over an opponent ranked No. 7. It was also the fifth double overtime victory in program history and first since Feb. 18, 2023 in the 81-77 win over Baylor.

Five Cyclones scored in double figures, but Emily Ryan was the game-changer putting up a double-double of 12 assists and 12 points, once again nearly hitting a triple-double with seven rebounds. Ryan went 10-of-10 from the free throw line, with her eight in the two overtime periods proving to be pivotal.

No stranger to 20-point games, Audi Crooks poured in 20 for her 10th game with as many while keeping her double-figure scoring streak alive at 22 games. Crooks also had nine rebounds, three steals and a block. Addy Brown matched Crooks with 20 for her fourth 20-point game, going 5-of-9 from the field and a perfect 8-of-8 from the charity stripe. Brown added seven rebounds and five assists to her stat line.

Kelsey Joens dialed in 13 points, including three 3-pointers, while totaling seven rebounds. Isnelle Natabou made her first four shots, going on to total 10 points at 83 percent shooting with just one miss.

How it Happened

Crooks gave ISU its first lead at 8-6 four minutes into the contest, while Hannah Belanger extended the advantage with a 3-pointer following a K-State turnover. Joens kept it going with another from beyond the arc, but the run did not end there. Crooks then sent in a jumper, making it a 12-0 run and 10-point game at 16-6 with 4:03 on the clock. The Cyclones’ lead was brought down to three (19-16), but back-to-back layups by Brown and Natabou made it 23-16 after the first.

Natabou opened second-quarter scoring with her third make, putting ISU up 25-16 at 7:41. Joens’ second deep shot then brought it back to a double-digit game (28-18), while the score stood at 30-20 midway through the frame. Brown would become the fourth Cyclone to send in a 3 after a slick defensive rebound by Nyamer Diew, taking the score to 33-20. ISU kept control of the half, taking a 13-point lead into halftime (39-26).

The Wildcats fought to come back within three at 46-43 with 5:27 to go in the third as Iowa State called a timeout. Iowa State hit a cold streak while the game was brought to a 48-48 tie with just over two minutes in the quarter. Four-straight free throws by the duo of Ryan and Joens put ISU back ahead, with Crooks ending the third with a jumper sending the game to the fourth with Iowa State up 54-50.

It was a one-point game (55-54) with 7:48 left to play when Joens delivered her third 3-pointer on four attempts to keep the advantage with Iowa State. K-State followed to grab its first lead since the first quarter, but ISU took it back at 65-64 on two Crooks shots from the charity stripe at 3:42. Lead changes continued, with Kansas State up 70-67 with under two minutes remaining. A game-tying triple by Brown came next off a Ryan assist with the clock at 52 seconds. A foul on Iowa State led to a made KSU free throw, with the Cyclones grabbing the rebound but missing the go-ahead shot. K-State would hold a 72-70 lead at :10.6, but Brown would tie it on a pair of free throws. A huge blocked shot by Crooks would deny the Wildcats the lead, sending the game to overtime.

Overtime began with a made shot by Crooks, while even scoring followed as the teams tied each other at 74s, 76s and 78s. Iowa State held the ball with eight seconds, while Brown drew the foul proceeding to make her free throws to put the Cyclones up. K-State’s Ayoka Lee then converted on the buzzer-beating shot to send the game double overtime.

Crooks stole the ball for the third time, taking it down the court to deliver the layup at 3:52. Natabou would put ISU up 86-84, but KSU answered with a 3 with the clock reading 1:23. With 35 seconds to go, Belanger and Brown sent in four free throws to give ISU a three-point edge. With 11 seconds of play remaining, Ryan would send in four crucial freebies to not let the lead slip away. It again became a one-point game with a KSU layup at :04.8, but after a foul on Brown and another pair of free throws, ISU went back up by three as time expired with the Cyclones up 96-93.

Well you mentioned aoka Lee was out for the wild cats but she’s back at the lineup tonight for the first time in a month she’ll get the start she has been out for a month since January the 13th with the broken bone in her ankle so that really provides a big challenge for

Any team that faces her and tonight it’s the Cyclones mhm yeah she had surgery uh recent like a month ago like you said and Coach coach said that she might be back he didn’t know for sure they they had kind of practiced with her a week

Ago but there’s a little bit of pain so he didn’t know for sure if she would be but there was the possibility Audi Crooks gets inside Lee and Lee bats it away and again she’s 6’4 in tall she is second in the conference averaging 19 points a game she is fourth in the

Conference and rebounding at 8.2 per game an absolute Force Emily Ryan tries to penetrate the paint off the side of the backboard and the rebound is taken by bryy Glenn mentioning coming off that big 23 Point performance against Oklahoma State and the wild cats one point home court win

Over the cowgirls last week feed goes in on the post to Lee she can’t finish and it’s Cyclone basketball with Coach Finley said it’s going to be a difficult matchup even with AI crook Ariana Jackson called for an offensive foul and so Kansas State coming in with a 21-3

Record 10-2 in the Big 12 with the BOS basketball inside the lead the kick back outside for Riley Glenn her sister Jaylen Glenn gets it right back to Bry she’ll put up a running right hander and score it Emily Ryan you can see her sinking down Cyclones looking for their first

Points almost 2 minutes into the ball game Addie Brown is from the state of Kansas one of two Cyclone starters from Kansas and brown knocked down the shot o got a little Le fell down physical down low nothing called Bradley Glenn on the drive 639 victories he goes against Bill

Fenley who comes in with over 700 in fact 769 so these two coaches are the winningest coaches in terms of number of wins in the Big 12 Conference and midy has done a great job in his tenure at Kansas State and it certainly shows with the

Team that he has today she and her twin sister Jaylen Glenn have made an outstanding one two combo for Kansas State has made a change and Heavenly Greer who’s not seen a lot of action comes into the lineup for Kansas State as Le has checked out and it’ll be

Interesting to see how many minutes she’s able to play coming back after a month of being idle on the post n9e du for Bill Fenley in his 38th season as a head basketball coach is 29th at Iowa State he is tied for eighth active wins

Division 1 what a career he has had at Iowa State on top it comes to Jaylen Glenn sandel with it being guarded by Jackson Sandell into the lane spins and scores and Serena Sandell who averages 11.7 second best in the Wildcat lineup connects and it’s case stayed up by a

Pair yeah Sundale has been a great kind of a force out there for K State especially with leag gon she’s really stepped up and kind of taking over the team fact Bill Fenley feels that she is underrated overall the series 102 meetings Kansas State leads the alltime

Series 54 to 47 bill fley this is hard to believe he’s coached against Kansas State 61 times that’s quite a resume Emily Ryan sinks the free throw that timeout was to identify who the foul was on and as we speculated as they called it was on

Heavenly Greer kind of a slow start for both teams Kelsey Jones has come in for Iowa State Lee back in Miss fires off the post he’s 0 for two to start the ball game and it’s Kelsey Jones coming down with the rebound rebounds could be a factor in

This ball game Iowa State one of the best rebounding teams in the Big 12 Brooks turns on Le K State’s been doing a mighty good job on the boards as well how about that move by Audi Crooks yeah so those reverse layups are perfect for anyone who’s kind of taller than you

To get a better position and not blocked every time now Lee will work against Crooks and Crooks stands his position her position Lee has had such an amazing career at Kansas State of course missed last season with an injury and again as we mentioned missed six games this year

With a broken bone in her ankle but shot in the corner Glenn kicks it for Gregory in the lane it’s Lee leaving it short and Crooks there for the rebound K State’s such a well-rounded team as you can see in these last few games with out I mean even coach Finley says

They’re going to M they’re going to adjust the way they play here’s Walker down the lane with a floater that won’t go rebound is secured by Jazelle Sanchez she’ll fire from the corner and it’s long the rebound coming down into the hands of another freshman Ariana Jackson on this very young Iowa State

Squad dke comes around the screen set by brown brown looks inside to crook she turns on scores silky shot right overly it’s a 10 to nothing run NY naabu about to come back into the ball game for come into the game for the first time for Iowa State Lee trying to get

Position down low she turns and scores for the first time good shot over Kooks Ryan around the screen by Kooks leaves it off rebound by Addy Brown here’s D for three great positioning Cyclones three of their first four behind the arc inside the drive by sandel and she gets fouled D

Picking up the foul and that will be her first she can drive she can shoot the mid-range she can shoot the three and but she’ll also post up she kind of the full package we mentioned averaging almost 12 points a game but with Lee sidelined over the last five

Games she’s averaged 15 points a game and hit 53% of her field goal tries and she is the only guard I believe averaging over 50% from the field on the K State team the feed intended for not aoo but baded way and on the turnover Kansas State tries to

Score sides choked off on the defense here’s Sanchez for three and she knocks down a three she hasn’t shot the three ball well at all just 25% this season but that was a big confidence boost for her no doubt yeah she had two actually 18-point games in a row and

It’s kind of been an EB and flow of it for is Jeff M said she’s just not giv us the consistency we’d H for here’s sides knocking down a three Ryan paired with Walker Kansas State one of the best defensive teams in the country they are allowing only 54.8 for ball game getting

Inside Addie Brown to score great pump fake by Addie Brown getting her off her toe off her feet in order to create that uh little dip in the little bunny bunny shot Sanchez looking for two in a row it won’t go and the rebound taken down by Hannah Bellinger the senior from Grafton

Wisconsin the transfer from Truman State Brian lobs for naabu and N naabu will’ll have to hurry gets the shot off with a count it had it gone but it was nowhere close and this first half first quarter I should say has come to an end Iowa state was red hot behind the

Three-point line early but then the cyclone knocked down a couple themselves to cut an 11-point lead here’s the feet inside a oo Le on the Miss perhaps just trying to get things back into the flow just one of her first five shots after missing six ball games in a month of

Action Nadu hands it off to Jackson Addie Brown looks inside nice Reach For It by nagu and she’s got her second B and the Cyclones who led by as many as 11 go up by nine done the drive by Gregory won’t go but she draws a foul and she will go to

The line said it was um based on matchup and availability of time and Gregory knocks down the free throw averages almost nine points of ball game it’s a team that averages 73 points of ball game just 18 with 642 to go in the second quarter we got Crooks back in Now’s the

Time to use that mismatch she’s again against moin Jones for three in and out and back in it kind of rattles around it drops and Kelsey Jones both average more than 70 points a game we mentioned Iowa State at 74.7 and K State right behind him at

72.9 the ball inside to Lee and she’s able to finish for her second bucket you can see she’s kind of limping a little bit still again she suffered a broken bone in her ankle and that’s what sidelined her for six bow games nir D with a shot from Midway down the

Lane D’s got seven with five freshman playing majority of the points or majority of the minutes and those numbers that you saw are the highest percentage of any power five team in the country Addie Brown looks for three the Cyclones just red hot behind the three-point line they are now four out

Of I make it five out of nine shooting the three ball Lee working inside against Crooks the battle to watch all night Lee makes the catch turns fires and scores I State’s lead of 13 a moment ago right now it’s 11 was their biggest lead so far tonight and the Cyclones have led

For all but a minute 40 seconds of this game another takeway the Cyclones have had a flurry of turnovers here at this stage of the quarter there’s been a few forced shots trying to force it down low to Crooks not reading the defense Walker being known as quick off the bounce

Proved it right there just under two minutes left to play in the first half Ryan still looking for her first basket gets it right there Ryan has a really great leftand extension to get outside of the defender that’s on her Cyclones lead by 11 late in the second

Quarter Glen sets the pick sandale drives and she gets fouled Ryan Crooks and Bellinger will leave coming back into play naabu Jaylen Bristo For the First Time The Freshman from holiday Texas getting some fresh feet out there to change it up sandel triggers to Sanchez Sanchez having a

Cold shooting night as are most of the cats here comes Ariana Jackson out of the back court The Freshman from De Roosevelt High School where she was a three-time all Stater comes around the screen set by Nadu feeds Nadu Nadu gets inside Sanchez to score and it sticks Off the Bench for

Nelly naabu that was a sneaky pass I love passes like that a little spin on it great positioning by Nelly IA State equals their biggest lead Cyclones that time a lapse on defense allows Jaylen Glenn to drive almost untouched to the Baseline to score her first

Basket making it a bit too easy for her [Applause] Brown looking for a position Jones takes it to the paint and she gets fouled I think we had a pretty good angle on that on that foul not sure about that side of the Court Jones Off the Bench for seven

She’s hit a couple of Threes look at Jeff midy looking in he had a long and successful career at TCU before coming to Kansas State a decade ago so now Kansas state with 5 Seconds on the shot clock has Selle take it all the way to the Baseline she can’t finish

The rebound is grabbed by Addie Brown and this first half has come to a close getting jobs in sports just have a general interest in sports very important day yeah very important very awesome very cool to see that there are so many women being highlighted um we’re

In a day and age where women’s sports is much more broadcasted and I think it’s amazing to see um all these talented individuals getting a little bit more um little bit more pressed little a little bit more highlights around them absolutely and of course both these programs really enjoying terrific

Homecourt advantages and getting big crowds sandel shoots the ball down low for Leu kicks it back to Glenn she’ll fire from three it’s in and out and back in and Riley Glenn who got into early or I shouldn’t say early foul trouble but she uh didn’t play a lot in the first

Half and she knocks down the three Audi krooks with great positioning draws a foul AI Crooks goes to the free throw line and does not get the roll comes in averaging 17.7 per ball game and she has done a terrific job for the Cyclones this year but really having a

Tough match up tonight against the 6’4 in AO KH I love to see the competition between them I think Audie needs someone her her height in order to push around and she’s a freshman versus Lee and I think it just teaches her a different level of the game

Cats go into Lee once again she scores and draws we have Lee four for 11 she is a 72% free throw shooter that’s been an issue for her this season shoots a lot of Threes but has only made 35 of them just a 27% three-point shooter here’s Crooks getting inside Lee falls

Down and the foul is going to go against Lee so aoka Lee picks up her second foul aie bleeding a little bit not from this Play Good Good Dip down AI looking to go right Lee getting a little Loosey Goosey with her feet so the Cyclone athletic trainer

Will stop the bleeding and then we will resume action as Crooks will go to the line five double doubles from a player that went to the smallest division of Iowa schools Alona garan and people thought could she make the game and the transition in her first year and the answer has been pretty

Obvious oh yeah I come from one of those small Podunk towns too I didn’t I didn’t say Podunk now you did Chelsea never questioned her ability to step into this space people did but not you and she hits both free throws she’s got six points I think that’s because I

Coming from a small town I think you always have those people who are going to doubt your ability because you didn’t play at a certain level or didn’t play versus different type of competition and the same thing happened with me so knowing from experience I know she’s well capable Gregory drives and scores

We mentioned it at the start of our telecast Gabby Gregory got 27 points against the Cyclones last February 1st in Manhattan the last time these two teams squared off tonight though different story her three-point shooting has not been there so she went inside able to get a couple

Right there in the end one [Applause] so K State back to within six closest they’ve been in a long time but Bellinger changes that for the Cyclone by knocking down her second three of the ball game great hesitation recognizing the defense flying out and the three is

There by Gregory well we mentioned she struggled with a three-point shot this year but if she gets hot so Kansas State coming out of the locker room and playing well to begin this third quarter and out scoring the Cyclones here’s Jackson trying to get inside and Jackson

Draws a foul Jackson The Freshman from De Mo averaging Five Points a game started 14 times this year her 15th start of the Season tonight again she and D kind of alternating at that position I am always impressed with Jackson’s ability to match up stay locked in on her

Person cyclin now eight of 10 from the foul line and Kansas state has hit all eight of their tries Sandell in deep to score Serena sandel here’s Ryan with just four points in the first half just one basket and a couple of free throws looks for Crooks but the ball is

Intercepted little too late on that pass reer coming up with the interception Glen looks for three and number three knocks down to three K State getting hot and it’s a 17-7 run for Kansas State to begin the third quarter yeah I mean you see uh their three-point percentage in

The first half they were they were zero for or zero for six in the second quarter shot clock goes inside 10 on the post Greer gives it back up for Sandell whose three shot is short and it’s Jones with a rebound for Iowa State great defense by Iowa State you can see the

Switch Bellinger helping Kelsey getting right back to their person Jackson trying to make a move against Jaylen Glenn comes inside Bellinger challenged by Glenn ball comes loose inside and Nadu draws a foul against Greer I had the chance to talk to her this last weekend for Iowa State’s alumni

Weekend and she’s she’s a very sweet human and it’s very cool to get to talk to her about her experience and she misfires on both free throws and it’s daella and Sanchez going high for the rebound for Kansas State score has been stuck here with this five-point margin

For a while Gregory trying to change that to the rack to score big basket for Kansas States Gabby Gregory Gregory coming alive with eight third quarter points he’s got a really explosive for step knows how to get to the [Applause] hoop ball goes inside and that time

Naabu couldn’t get to it she tried to move around Sanchez couldn’t get to it she should be able to get position on the offensive end again Lee on the bench with three Fouls Sanchez off the Baseline and a collision that time as Jackson had the position established Selle tried to go over the top of her oh and the crowd thinks that the foul should go against Sandell but it will go instead against Jackson and she has come alive as we

Mentioned a moment ago in the third quarter I think what’s really special about Gregory is that when Lee’s out she’s also been known to post up she has nine points in the quarter alone and 11 for the ball game I’m sure she was a bit antsy with all those injuries to get

Healthy and be able to prove her prove her Talent Jaylen Glenn takeway and score and Kansas state has tied Iowa State at 48 turnovers beginning to hurt the Cyclones guilty of their 16th turnover and the foul will be called against K State Iowa state with the game

Even at 48 just the fourth time this game has been tied still a lot of game left there certainly is Ryan Who’s fifth in active career assist in division one among active players so that battle on the post is resulting in fouls against both teams feed for Lee

And again krooks has to be careful with those fouls and this time a foul is going to be called on Walker one more for Kelsey Jones her 10-point ball game gives Iowa State a four-point lead with 40 seconds left to play in the third quarter sale up for

Sides Lee battling Crooks makes the catch goes inside puts it up too hard that foul on krook per second and so Lee will go to the line nine points in her comeback after missing six ball games with the broken bone in her ankle Kansas

State 10 of 11 from the foul line so far tonight and that continues to be successful for them as they once again close to within a pair of krooks and Lee on the high post is Ryan directs the offense Walker guarding her well Ryan really knows what to do in

These late game situations doesn’t she she finds Crooks and krooks finds the basket that was a really nice move and you can I really love how krooks left that left arm kind of push off Lee in that shot a little step back shot I would say still rebound out

Rebound in Kansas Kansas State also just doing a much Kate doing a much better job of scoring in the paint than they did in that first few quarters IA State doing a better job on the boards out rebounding Kansas state by 11 here’s Gregory pulling up finding

Glenn now sides pulls up for a shot the knocks it down she hits the mid-range jumper Lee with her size and her length AI Crooks being able to do a little Fade Away shot being able to adjust to that height Jones gives it up for Jackson 10

Seconds to shoot Jackson takes it to the paint and Lee reaches up and blocks it still draws the foul it looks like as the free throw by Jackson is [Applause] good Miss fires on that one sides by the way that last foul for Kansas State Bob inside Lee catches turns fires and gets

The roll I will say not a whole lot of left-handed shots in this game today that is true Lee now with 13 points Ryan works against Glenn gets a rounder nice defense helps Side by sandel three ran home by Jones very impressive to be that locked into to

Your shot with that great form while a Defender is flying out at you and there is another very poised freshman in the lineup for Iowa State got by by the skin of her teeth bryley Glenn gets the shot on the drive Glenn who did not score but four points

In the first half now has five here just in the early moments of the second of the fourth quarter last Kansas State lead was at 642 in the first quarter at 6 to4 here’s Ryan off the glass too hard having a tough shooting night is Emily Ryan got a

Little intimidated by Lee approaching should have just gone up like a normal shot Gregory got the rebound here’s bryley Glenn getting out to Sandell Gregory looking inside for Lee Lee comes out to set the screen 10 seconds on the shot clock drive by Glenn gets around Jones to

Score Riley Glenn backto back basket GRE in her Fifth and final year at Kansas State goes to the line she’s a 67% free throw shooter who is four out of four tonight she will not go to the line not a shooting foul to the inbound speed comes to Sanchez Shan Sanchez drills a

Three Della Sanchez with their second three of the ball game and Kansas state has their first lead since 642 in the first quarter K State’s been getting hot and finding a rhythm in this second half Iowa State needs to f figure out how to stop them how to get them off rhym how

To get them uncomfortable Jackson looks for three Arana Jackson with her first basket of the ball game it’s a great drive into the paint locating Jackson on the three-point because her defender came down to help defend Sanchez a ball fake tries to get around Crooks but krooks is right there

So the long three try nothing but court for Sierra Sanchez working hard to front Crooks down Low Bellinger open for three and the rebound claimed by Jaylen Glenn Lee takes the inbounds feed Kansas state with a chance to extend their one-point lead and they do so as sundell slices through the score she’s in double figures with 11 and the Wildcats leaded by three sundell doing what she does

Best stepping up when they need some points Cyclones begin getting big play off their bench tonight as the reverse layup is there by Edie Brown that’s her first points in the second half open look for Glenn rebound run down by Bellinger Brown is in foul trouble with

Four foul so she does have to play it [Applause] Safe crooks on the low post works against Le gets inside of her and Lee reaches over and fouls her and Lee now commits her fourth foul she’ll stay in theine lineup at least for the moment for Jeff midy as krooks gets the free throw G fley is going to take an

Opportunity to give Crooks a rest Gregory looking to go to work she does and scores it Kansas State one of the best defenses in the country ninth in the country at giving up points fourth in field goal defense in country Lobos inside to do and she scores off

The PO nir D her ninth Point her first Basket in the second half I appreciate seeing that leftand move to mix it up a little bit sandale drives and scores and K State takes the lead back Ryan attacks the basket missfires on the shot and the rebound is taken

Down by bryley Glenn K State a one-point lead in the ball you can tell by the intensity of K State’s defense that they’re just locked in they know they’re down to the wire they know they have to step up and compete and sundell taking full advantage in rear by three the lob comes

In tender for Crooks she’s able to Correll it finds Ryan now brown for three with eight on the shot clck and she drains it Edie brown with a huge three to tie it at 70 and it will be Kansas State basketball score TI at 70 so it’s Liam Crooks in the spotlight

The big players for both ball clubs that been the go two players it’s going to come down to who wants it more who’s going to lock in a defense in this last minute sandel blobs on the give and go unable to finish on the play is Bry

Glenn who denied his two of two and on the season is 17 out of 21 so she has been a good free throw shooter for Kansas State and she gives the wild cats the lead one more for bryley Glenn missfires there Cyclones with the rebound Iowa State down by a point just a 3se second make it a two-second differential shot clock and game clock Brown fired unable to connect and the rebound taken

By Lee and Kansas state gets a timeout as of course with that timeout women’s basketball you get the play to the midcourt rather than from the back court the feed comes into Lee nir D tries to take it away from her and commits the foul so Lee will go to the line with

17.8 just 2 seconds off the clock D checks out the at the line has been perfect in three free throw tries so far not this time so the best she can do is give the wild cats a two-point lead with 17.8 to play got to make it a lot of pressure she does

That Lee both Glenn Sandell and Walker onto the court for Kansas State krooks Bryan Brown Jackson on the floor for Iowa State Ryan takes the inbounds feed Jones is the fifth Cyclone on the court and there’s a foul up top it’s called against Jaylen Glenn and a non-

Shooting foul but because the bonus is in effect 10.6 to play as Brown goes to the line she’s a 76% free throw shooter first trip to the stripe tonight it was just as you predicted get it get Emily Ryan get it out then kick it uh kick it

Into Audi krooks down there there for the Post Brown brings her team to within one with 10.6 to play again K State has two timeouts remaining the Cyclones have [Applause] one brown ties it at 72 and K State will use the timeout to play it in from mid court with 10.6 to

Play and you said they’ve already been doing it all season they they played against Iowa they played down in Florida versus in a tournament they played in a neutral Missouri site and so they’re they’re prepared for the energy that and playing it a on a road game Sandell

Takes it right to the rack and has it blocked out of bounds it’ll be case day ball with 6.8 good positioning good defense by Emily Ryan Lee hands it to sandale three seconds two sandale bottled up desperation to touch will go which means this game goes into overtime

At the end of regulation the the Cyclones of the wild cats are tied at 72 Lee and Crooks jump for the start of the overtime period and Iowa state will possess it first Emily Ryan who has had a tough shooting night just one out of 10 but directing the offense seven rebounds for

Her as well as eight assist she handles the basketball she’ll take it to the rat and Miss fire on the shot and Lead Glen hands to sunnday Sandell against Jackson who’s got those four fouls Shak clock goes down to 10 Sandell finds Jaylen Glenn on the post

It’s Lee leaves it short krooks there for the rebound good defense by Crooks hands straight up not looking to foul seventh rebound for Audi krooks silky pass bys over the lead 14 points now for Audi Crooks Iowa state with the first lead in overturn here’s giley Glenn driving and

Missing but getting fouled by Kelsey Jones Glenn went to the line late in regulation one of two on the line coming off a 23-point performance against Oklahoma state which was a season high for her she notches both free throws couple players on the floor Brown having a little bit of

Trouble handling onto the basketball just over three to play in overtime K State switching very well Jones misses on the drive krook battles for the rebound but Lee takes it away from her literally picks it off of her hands Glen puts up a shot it won’t go

Gets her own rebound Iowa State not boxing out big offensive rebound for the Wildcats here’s Gregory with 12 on the shot clock Sun Dell now Glenn inside to Lee and Lee with a big turnaround give her 16 points in her return to the lineup for K State and the wild cats

With a two-point lead nice right-handed Hook by Lee earlier those weren’t falling but it seems to be the moment for her coming off that six game one month layoff she’s really done a terrific job for the wild cats as has Crooks for the Cyclones good pump fake by trook Jackson

Watching her but playing with four fouls Del eyes a three lobs for Lee Lee works against krooks and hits the shot another big basket by aoka Lee krooks comes hi to set the screen Ryan to the Baseline Ryan draws the foul Sandell puts her hands to her head as she picks

Up her fourth foul and she has that great extension of that right hand Kansas native Ryan out of Chaplan Kansas and everybody remembers the home of Jackie styles that free throw is up and it’s good to tie it once again Sandell against Jackson a good perimeter Defender but with four fouls Glenn in

The lane spins out into the hands of Addie Brown unlucky shot Ryan trying to penetrate the paint krooks makes the catch now Ryan goes Baseline nothing going there Brown works against the defense of sundell shot caught down to nine Binger gets it to krooks krooks misses the shot krooks knocked to the

Court rebound comes out to Brown fresh 20 for Iowa state with now just 23 seconds on the overtime clock and a difference of 9 seconds between the shot clock and the game clock K State switching on defense Ryan turns and misses follow shot W go but a foul called Jaylen Glenn

With her fifth foul she leaves with a total of seven points in the ball game and she is replaced by an outstanding player an outstanding sub and Zana Walker who’s the first one off the bench for Jeff midy and could start a lot of places Eddie Brown free throw good brown

With 15 and gives her team the lead now 8 seconds on the clock Brown drains them both Lee Sandell Gregory on the court also there is Walker 6 seconds Selle finds Gregory Gregory lobs for Lee Lee at the horn hits the shot and the basket will count the wild cats ranked seventh in

The country K State has lost a player due to fouls and Jaylen Glenn and the Cyclones have three players hanging on with four fouls a piece the opening tap controlled by Kansas State the wild cats with a 21 and3 record ranked seventh by the Associated Press Walker Baseline feed

Intended for Lee it is wide and on the turnover it’ll be Iowa State Basketball K State turns it over for the 12th time the Cyclones with 19 turnover kind of a risky move by Kooks considering she has four fouls Cooks muscles her way in and gets her 18th

Point and Iowa State takes the and at the other end there’s a foul called as kstate drives it is Ariana jock Jackson and that will be her fifth only five points but the job she did was at the defensive end of the Court mhm she’s that Scrappy Iowa State

Player sandale calmly sinks the free throw the Junior from mville Missouri goes two of two at the line to tie the game up once again and this game has now been tied a dozen times and only looking for that back cut K State playing that lock down defense again they are so good

Defensively here’s Kooks Midway down the lane hits the turnaround that’s what I’m talking about that fade away jumper Hilton fans trying to create that energy Gregory goes around the screen feeds on the Baseline the shot goes down by zenah Walker her second basket down the middle of the Zone comes Crooks it’s

Blocked by Le she gets it back it’s blocked Again by Lee it’s loose there’s a pil up who’s got the possession arrow Iowa state has It and krooks is not getting up being helped to her deeding position lot of appendages and I think she’s now saying I think I’m okay let me play she gets herself up and what a warrior Audi Crooks has become or always was and certainly now as she’s turned the the

Page from smalltown basketball in Iowa to Big Time basketball in the Big 12 and right now it will be nir du who will check in for Crooks Nelly naabu is the one who has replaced Crooks yeah it’ll be I think it’ll be the first time with Nelly matching up on

Lee and not AO not to say that Nelly didn’t do a good job Nelly did score on the other end and in that small amount of time Selle pitches it back outside sunland’s really playing some very strong defense in the over time sandel for three got it Serena sandel knocked

Down a big three to give a Kansas State the lead at 8786 got to have your hands up especially when it’s down to the wire like This crook sets the high post once again now she will roll down low against Lee makes the catch forces inside Lee gets a hand on it Walker comes up with it for Kansas State she gets bottled up but she gets the timeout Wildcats with the ball

No TI they did not take a timeout there as they ruled it was that off Iowa State so it’s K State ball with a onepoint lead Walker guarded by D High comes to Lee here’s Gregory around the screen set by Lee the ball rolls out of bounds and it

Was a turnover against Kansas State Iowa state gets the ball back they’re going to have to dig deep Kooks has played 35 minutes lead has played 33 minutes Iowa State down by one inbounding Bellinger drives and a foul is whistle Bellinger a 79% free throw shooter has a couple of

Three-points baskets tonight for total of six and she ties it up at 87 that is tie number 14 tonight Bellinger knocked down a pair and Iowa State takes the lead at 88 to 887 5-second differential between the shot clock and the game clock Sandell tries to move Lee Sandell hunting for

The shot Selle off the front of the iron rebound comes to Addy Brown and again the Cyclones will call a timeout and she will play it inbounds inbound speed comes to Brown and she is fouled immediately by sandel and Serena sandel will foul out with 19 seconds left in the second overtime

Serena sell what a game by sand Del though 20 points seven assists great game she’s been able to try to control the tempo looking for the hunting for those shots at the end of the clock Brown calmly to the line has hit all five over three throws in this ball

Game including four in over three in overtime like I said early earlier um you can always count on Iowa State to make the shots when that counts and then they have tonight they lead by three p State not going to call a timeout they need a three to tie it there’s Glenn

Going in deep trying to draw a foul she does that with 12.4 to play Iowa state will inbound Iowa State needs to take care of it for 12 seconds and Ryan’s going to be fouled immediately and you’re right if you’re Kansas State there’s not a good choice on the floor

For Iowa State on who to foul it becomes a two-point ball game and case will have 11.2 left to play to try to tie it with the two depending on what free throw they’re going to need a three because a three-point ball game but just over 11

Seconds to play if Iowa state is able to pull this off they’ll be able to hold their record of K State not winning in their home since 2018 that feed goes over the head of and they’re going to put 10.6 on the clock [Applause] I Walker inbound it’s for Sanchez Sanchez will
