In a stunning upset, the Kansas State Wildcats ended the Iowa State Cyclones’ 29-game winning streak at Hilton Coliseum with an 80-61 victory. This marks the first time in history that an under-.500 team has beaten a top-5 team by 15 or more points in the AP poll. The Cyclones were led by Tamin Lipsey with 20 points, but struggled with shooting and turnovers throughout the game. Despite a comeback attempt in the second half, Iowa State could not catch up to Kansas State, who had every starter score in double figures. Dug McDaniel led the Wildcats with 20 points and five assists. The loss was particularly frustrating for Iowa State coach T.J. Otzelberger, who received his first technical foul of the season during the game. The Wildcats capitalized on turnovers and offensive rebounds to secure the victory. This defeat comes as a surprising setback for the Cyclones, who had previously dominated at home. They will now look to bounce back on the road in a rematch with Kansas on Monday night. The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. CT.
