The Kansas State Wildcats pulled off a stunning upset victory against the No. 3 Iowa State Cyclones, ending their 29-game home winning streak and breaking a 15-game road losing streak of their own. Dug McDaniel led the way with 20 points, while five Wildcats scored in double figures.
Dug McDaniel led the Kansas State Wildcats to a stunning upset victory over the No. 3 ranked Iowa State Cyclones on Saturday, scoring 20 points and guiding five Wildcats into double figures. The final score was 80-61, marking the end of Iowa State 's 29-game home winning streak and the second-longest active streak in the nation. This win also snapped Kansas State 's 15-game road losing streak, a particularly impressive feat considering 12 of those losses occurred within the Big 12 conference.
The Wildcats (10-11, 4-6 Big 12) have now won their last three games, showcasing a resurgence in form with victories over then-No. 23 West Virginia and Oklahoma State preceding their triumph over Iowa State. Coleman Hawkins contributed 17 points and Brendan Hausen added 15 for Kansas State. For Iowa State (17-4, 7-3), Tamin Lipsey tied his season-high with 20 points, while Curtis Jones chipped in with 14 and Joshua Jefferson added 13. The Cyclones struggled with turnovers, committing a season-high 18, a factor that contributed to their back-to-back losses. Despite a late 13-0 run attempt, a 3-pointer from Hausen extinguished any remaining hope for Iowa State. Kansas State's win marked their first victory over a top-five team on the road since February 2, 2017, when they defeated then-No. 2 Baylor. The Wildcats will face Arizona State on Tuesday night, while the Cyclones travel to face No. 11 Kansas on Monday
