Iowa State ends with 8-0 run to top rival Iowa
Georges Niang scored 24 points, including the go-ahead basket with 18.8 seconds left, and 17th-ranked Iowa State rallied past No. 23 Iowa 85-82 on Friday night.
Niang's reverse layup gave Iowa State an 83-82 lead. Mike Gesell then missed two free throws as the frenzied fans rose to their feet -- and aired out their lungs -- in hopes of rattling one of the Cyclones' biggest rivals.
Dustin Hogue then buried two foul shots and Zach McCabe, who entered play shooting 48.5 percent on 3-pointers, missed a wide-open 3 for Iowa (10-2).
Hogue had 12 points and 16 rebounds for the Cyclones (8-0), who prevailed in the first meeting between the Cyclones and Hawkeyes as ranked teams in 26 years.
Aaron White had 25 points and a career-high 17 rebounds for the Hawkeyes, who led by as much as 10 late in the first half and outrebounded the Cyclones 49-35.
