AMES, Iowa (AP) — Des Moines Register columnist Randy Peterson suffered what the newspaper says is an apparent broken leg when Iowa State fans stormed the court after a win over Iowa. The fourth-ranked Cyclones rallied from 20 down to beat the in-state rivals 83-82 Thursday night on a winning shot with nine seconds left. Iowa State fans rushed the floor at Hilton Coliseum, and Peterson was injured while heading to the postgame press conference.

Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard told the Register that he believes Peterson suffered a compound leg fracture. Peterson has covered sports in Iowa for the Register for roughly four decades.
