Cyclones stun No. 5 Jayhawks, 72-64 AMES, Iowa (AP) — Royce White has been so bad from the free throw line lately that his struggles have literally turned into nightmares. A few hours after waking up from a dream in which he couldn’t hit anything from the line, White sank the two biggest freebies of his career to give Iowa State a landmark win for coach Fred Hoiberg. White had 18 points and nine rebounds as the Cyclones upset fifth-ranked Kansas 72-64 on Saturday, snapping the Jayhawks’ winning streak at 10 games. White, the versatile big man who entered shooting an abysmal 39 percent from the line in Big 12 games, hit a pair that rattled in to put Iowa State up 64-59 with 1:47 left. Kansas then threw the ball away and Chris Babb drained a backbreaking 3 to give the Cyclones an eightpoint lead with 55.6 seconds left. “I woke up this morning dreaming about missing free throws. So I was in the gym this morning and

Big 12 player of the year favorite Thomas Robinson had 13 points, but he committed five turnovers and the Jayhawks were out-
rebounded 36-23. “I thought we got stops, but I didn’t think we cleaned up. How many times did they miss a shot and the ball go off of us and us not secure or whatever?” Kansas coach Bill Self said. “Obviously, we didn’t do a good last 3 minutes defensively at all.” Melvin Ejim had 15 points and Scott Christopherson added 14 for the Cyclones (15-6, 5-3), who had lost 13 straight to Kansas since their last victory in 2005.

Iowa State students celebrated the program’s biggest win in years — and first over Kansas at home since 2004 — by storming the floor. “It was a great win for our program. But like I told our guys, you know, you’ve got to expect to win your home games,” Hoiberg said. “I told the guys to enjoy it and get refocused.” This was Kansas’ toughest true road test of the year so far — and it ended with the Jayhawks’ first true road loss of the season. But Kansas caught the Cyclones napping to start the second half and took its biggest lead to that point, 45-39, thanks to an 11-0 run. Big man Anthony Booker brought Iowa State back, sinking a rare 3-pointer to put the Cyclones ahead 50-49 with 12:13 left. Neither team could get much going over the next 6 minutes, but Tyrus McGee’s three-point play gave Iowa State a 56-53 lead with just over 6 minutes left. Robinson then blew an open dunk and White hit two layups — one a reverse he spun off the glass — to make it 60-55.
Wildcats stub toe at home vs. Sooners Special to The Telegram
MANHATTAN — What disappointed Frank Martin most was not losing to Oklahoma for the second time. It was the way his Kansas State Wildcats lost. The Sooners harassed No. 22-ranked K-State defensively and the Wildcats wilted, going 3 of 17 from 3point range and turning the ball over 20 times Saturday night as OU escaped sold-out Bramlage Coliseum with a 63-60 victory. “When you’ve only got one guy that makes perimeter shots, it’s hard to win against a good team,” said Martin, whose Wildcats still had a last shot at forcing overtime, only to see Rodney McGruder’s last-second 3pointer rim out. “They dug up and got after us – give them credit – and made it a real physical game. “Obviously we didn’t respond and we turned it over 20 times.” The victory, in K-State alum Lon Kruger’s first visit to Bramlage as an opposing coach, was Oklahoma’s second against the Wildcats in two weeks and completed a sweep of the season series. The Sooners improved to 13-
7 with a 3-5 Big 12 record while K-State fell to 15-5 and 4-4. “It sucks to lose and it sucks to lose twice,” said McGruder, one of the few offensive bright spots for KState after finishing with 19 points. “It’s not a good feeling. “It’s not a good feeling to lose at all, but to lose to a team that came to your house and celebrated is not a pleasant sight to see.” While McGruder kept KState in the game, scoring 13 of his points in the second half, the Wildcats had no answer for Oklahoma guard Steven Pledger at the other end. Pledger, who finished with 30 points, knocked down back-to-back 3-pointers to give the Sooners the lead for good, 52-51, with 5:23 left and stretched it to four at the 4:37 mark. “He was just catching the ball wherever he wanted to and getting open looks,” McGruder said. “You can’t let a shooter do that.” Pledger, who also hit two big free throws down the stretch – the Sooners were 6 of 6 from the line in the last 1:07 – played the last 6 minutes, 48 seconds with four fouls. He picked up two quick ones to start the sec-
ond half, then was whistled for his fourth at the 10:55 mark and returning with OU trailing by three. “We went in at halftime and I only had one fouls, so I tried to pick it up defensively, and then it cost me and my team,” Pledger said. “(After the return) it was just a matter of getting to the right spots and helping my team out.” K-State trailed just 59-58 when Will Spradling scored on a hard drive to the basket with 45.4 seconds left, then got a defensive stop. But after Jordan Henriquez grabbed the defensive rebound, OU point guard Sam Grooms stepped in to strip the ball. Romero Osby hit two free throws with 9.3 seconds left and the Sooners fouled Henriquez on purpose at 5.2 seconds. Henriquez made both foul shots and K-State immediately fouled, sending Grooms to the line. Grooms made both shots and Kruger said the Sooners were trying to foul again, preventing the 3-point attempt, but K-State was able to get it to McGruder on the right wing. “I had a clean look,” McGruder said. “It just came up short.”
The Wildcats did not have a timeout left to diagram the play, but Martin had no complaints about the execution. “We got the shot we asked to get,” he said. “That is the shot we wanted. “I’d rather Will Spradling have gotten open higher up on the floor, but I give them credit. “They guarded; the made him catch it further away.” Oklahoma scored the last five points of the first half to lead 34-28, but K-State used an eight-point run to tie it at 40 on McGruder’s long jumper with 13:03 left. After OU stopped the bleeding with a Sam Grooms tip-in, McGruder scored again and Will Spradling hit two free throws to put the Wildcats in front. They led 48-45 on two McGruder free throws when Pledger and Andrew Fitzgerald, who also had four fouls, returned for OU. In addition to Pledger, Oklahoma got 11 points and six rebounds from Cameron Clark. Angel Rodriguez fouled out with 10 points for K-State, while Jamar Samuels had nine points and eight rebounds as the Wildcats enjoyed a 33-29 advantage on the boards.

Drake outlasts Wichita State, 93-86, in 3 OT DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Ben Simons scored 29 points and Kurt Alexander scored six of his 17 points in the third overtime as Drake outlasted Wichita State 93-86 on Saturday night. Rayvonte Rice added 19 points, 14 rebounds, eight assists and four steals
