Part 5/6:
The pivotal moments arrived when Iowa State executed several perfectly timed plays to open up their shooters. Each time Kansas attempted to eliminate their deficit, the Cyclones responded with a flurry of baskets, ensuring their lead remained relatively comfortable.
Securing the Victory
With a significant lead established, Iowa State continued to push onward. Kansas' hopes began to dim as Iowa State maintained their offensive rhythm, and despite a late-game surge from the Jayhawks, the gap proved insurmountable.
Joshua Jefferson and T.J. Otzelberger’s strategies culminated in an impressive win, marking a record for Otzelberger with his twelfth victory against a top 10 opponent.
