College basketball roundup: Iowa State rallies for stunning victory

A reporter covering a basketball game in Iowa suffered a broken leg – when delirious fans stormed the court after a dramatic victory. The pressure defense from the Cyclones stopped the Hawkeyes’ mini-run after Iowa had a few very costly turnovers.

Defining moment: His 245-yard performance in Lubbock is certainly going to end up being more memorable, but you’d have to think Warren would prefer to choose another game: Iowa State’s 24-0 win over Texas three weeks later on October 31.

The director of communications for the Big 12 Conference released a statement Friday afternoon regarding the postgame court-storming after the Iowa State Cyclones’ win over the Iowa Hawkeyes on Thursday. Uthoff shot the lights out in that first half, putting up 30 points and leading Iowa to a 49-35 halftime lead. Basically he was saying that if it isn’t a player, it really doesn’t affect him. But Matt Thomas hit a 3 with 59 seconds left to make it 82-79. He finished the night with 20 points and nine assists, with the game-winning floater in the lane the big highlight. And of those 12 rebounds, eight of them were offensive ones.

I must say that this probably was the best and most exciting game that I’ve watched this entire season. “Coach (Steve) Prohm and I went out to talk to him and tried to comfort him”. He was taken to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines after the game. The duo combined to score the last 12 of the game in the final two minutes but Disterhoft missed a free throw with seven seconds left.

Possibly the craziest part about the whole incident is Iowa State, ranked fourth in the nation, beat an unranked Iowa team and proceeded to celebrate like there’s no tomorrow.
