The Iowa State men’s basketball team fought to the bitter end but came up a point shy of a rare road win at Allen Fieldhouse against Kansas 62-61. The Cyclones rallied back from a 9 point deficit in the second half to lead multiple times in a wild final two minutes.

Caleb Grill hit a shot from the corner that was ruled a two to put Iowa State up one with about 35 seconds left. Kansas got a foul call on the other end and went up one with two free throws before Izaiah Brockington nailed a go-ahead jumper for Iowa State with :18 left. Neither team called timeout in the final sequence and Kansas got a very tough banker from Dajuan Harris Jr. with 8 seconds left. The Cyclones got a look for Gabe Kalscheur from three that was off the mark and the ball was knocked out of bounds as time expired.

The Cyclones had some tough breaks in the second half with a flagrant foul that was called after a review on Robert Jones that seemed inadvertent and a missed goal-tending call on the Jayhawks.

Brockington finished with 17 points and 8 rebounds. Kalscheur dropped in 14pts and Tyrese Hunter added 12 points, 5 assists, and 5 steals.

The Cyclones drop to 13-3 overall and 1-3 in the Big 12. Next up for the Cyclones is a home game against Texas on Saturday at 1;00 p.m.
