DeAndre Kane scores 26 to lead No. 16 Iowa State in 98-97 3OT win over No. 19 Oklahoma State
• STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- None of Iowa State's players had been born the last time the Cyclones won at Oklahoma State's Gallagher-Iba Arena.
• It took some extra effort, but Iowa State finally got it done. DeAndre Kane had 26 points, 10 rebounds and nine assists to help the 16th-ranked Cyclones defeat No. 19 Oklahoma State 98-97 in triple overtime on Monday night. It was Iowa State's first in Stillwater since March 2, 1988 -- a span of 18 games.
• "To gut this win out was huge," Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. "It would have been a very difficult loss fighting three overtimes and walking out of here with a loss. I'm proud of our guys for finding a way to win it."
• Kane got to the rim nearly at will while primarily being guarded by Oklahoma State star Marcus Smart. Kane said he respected Oklahoma State's effort.
• "I'll tip my hat to them, they played a great game, but my guys fought it out all night," he said.
