Aaron Craft Sinks Iowa State, Sends Ohio State to Sweet 16

Ohio State's last appearance in the Sweet 16 came five years ago, thanks to the biggest shot of Aaron Craft's Buckeye career.

Then a junior point guard, Craft buried a clutch three-point shot with less than a second left to give No. 2 seed Ohio State a 78-75 win over No. 10 seed Iowa State, sending the Buckeyes to Los Angeles for a Sweet 16 tilt with Arizona.

Craft finished with 18 points in the victory, the game-winning three-point shot his lone attempt from behind the arc against the Cyclones. DeShaun Thomas, who had the play run for him to take the final shot against ISU, finished with a game-high 22 points to lead Ohio State in scoring that night in Dayton, Ohio.
