As Kansas State and Iowa State went back and forth in one of the most entertaining games of the Big 12 Tournament at Sprint Center on Friday, it felt like it would take a monster play for either team to separate from the other.
For 39 minutes, no one managed to throw a knockout punch. But it finally came in the form of a Marial Shayok three-pointer.
With the shot-clock winding down and 53 seconds left on the clock, the Iowa State guard drained a fade-away three over K-State defender Mike McGuirl to give the Cyclones some breathing room.
