Iowa State vs. Kansas: Score and Reaction from 2017 Regular Season

After trailing by as many as 15 points, the Iowa State Cyclones used a furious second-half rally to knock off the No. 3 Kansas Jayhawks 92-89 in overtime Saturday, improving to 14-8 overall and 6-4 in the Big 12.

The defeat marked Kansas' first at Allen Fieldhouse since a January 2014 loss to San Diego State, snapping a 54-game winning streak at home while dropping the Jayhawks to 20-3 overall and 8-2 in conference play. It was also Iowa State's first road win over Kansas since 2005.

Fresh off two marquee victories over Kentucky and Baylor, the Jayhawks seemed like they would cruise to victory No. 21 on the season.

Kansas held a 52-38 advantage at halftime and could do no wrong. Frank Mason III was an unstoppable force with a career-high 32 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Landen Lucas was a rebounding machine for Kansas with 18 total, including six on the offensive glass. By comparison, Iowa State's entire team had just 25 rebounds. The Jayhawks shot 50 percent from the field but hurt themselves with 21 turnovers.

The game turned in a big way during the second half. Iowa State seemingly couldn't miss from the field, outscoring Kansas 44-30 after halftime. Nazareth Mitrou-Long, Monte Morris and Deonte Burton did virtually all of the damage throughout the game, combining for 76 of the Cyclones' 92 points.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Torrey Smith compared Iowa State's shooting display to a prominent group in the NBA:

Morris looked like he was going to play the role of hero for Iowa State when he drilled a three-pointer with 1:07 remaining in regulation to give the Cyclones an 82-81 lead, but Mason tied it for Kansas by hitting one of his two free-throw attempts.

After Morris missed a jumper on Iowa State's next possession, the Jayhawks got the ball back and called a timeout with under 20 seconds on the clock.

ESPN.com's Jeff Borzello must have been in Kansas' huddle, because he figured out what head coach Bill Self wanted to do:

Following the timeout, Mason had a chance to win it with the clock winding down, but his pull-up jumper hit off the back of the rim, sending the game to overtime. It was the senior star's first missed field-goal attempt of the day.

Both teams went ice-cold early in the overtime period until Morris and Burton hit shots on back-to-back Iowa State possessions to give their team an 87-82 lead with just over two minutes remaining.

Tommy Birch of the Des Moines Register had already crafted a headline for the game:

Kansas stuck around thanks to a Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk layup and free throws by Devonte' Graham and Josh Jackson.

Needing a basket, Iowa State used Morris as a decoy when he drove and collapsed the defense, leaving Donovan Jackson wide-open for a three-pointer that extended the lead to 90-86.

Graham kept Kansas' hopes alive with a three of his own to cut the deficit to one with 15 seconds remaining. Morris then extended the lead back to three with two free throws to seal the victory for Iowa State.

Postgame Reaction

Iowa State head coach Steve Prohm had an emotional reaction to the big win, which he described during the postgame press conference, per Alex Halsted of 247Sports:

Self had a different kind of emotion after the loss. 

"When a guy drives baseline or ... middle ... you always fill the corners," Self said, per Jesse Newell of the Kansas City Star. "That was an automatic. Certainly we were ball-watching."

Despite not liking his team's defensive effort, Self gave Iowa State credit for executing its game plan. 

"They came in and played with a free mind," he said, per Kansas Basketball. "We told the guys they would come in and let it fly and we didn't defend it."
