Kansas State, Perry’s stepback three sinks Villanova in overtime, 72-71
Scott Sewell-USA TODAY SportsKansas State’s leading scorer, Tylor Perry, had been kept well in check for the first 40 minutes and 56 seconds he played against Villanova on Tuesday night.
Despite struggling with his shot, he made up for it in a big way and came up with overtime heroics, shaking and baking Villanova’s Lance Ware on a stepback three, which proved to be the game-winner with 3.9 seconds left in the game.
Villanova was unable to get one last shot off before the buzzer and Kansas State held off a ‘Nova rally to win, 72-71, in Tuesday night’s entry in the Big East/Big 12 Battle.
Kansas State has now won each of its last three games in overtime.
