NO. 2 HOUSTON; NO. 1 PURDUE BOTH LOSE
Tamin Lipsey scored 14 points, freshman Milan Momcilovic made a baseline jumper with 30.2 seconds left and Iowa State beat No. 2 Houston 57-53 on Tuesday night to knock off the nation’s final unbeaten team.
Iowa State 57 ,No.2
Iowa State (12-3, 1-1 Big 12) secured its seventh win against a top-10 opponent in the last two seasons — most in Division I. Houston (14-1, 1-1) had a nation’s-best 12game road winning streak snapped in the program’s first Big 12 road contest.
Iowa State forward Hason Ward made two free throws with 1:20 remaining, but he was whistled for a lane violation on the second free throw to keep the lead at 53-51.
Jamal Shead split a double team and made a jumper with 55.9 seconds left to tie it at 53-all.
After an Iowa State timeout, Momcilovic spun away from a double team and sank a jumper from a difficult angle for a 55-53 lead. L.J. Cryer’s 3-pointer hit hard off the backboard and Momcilovic was fouled at 10.7 before making two free throws for a four-point lead.
Momcilovic finished with 11 points on 4-of-8 shooting for Iowa State. His go-ahead shot was his first basket of the second half. Ward scored nine points off the bench on a perfect 4-of-4 shooting from the field.
“It means the world to me,” Lipsey said in an ESPN interview. “I grew up wanting to be on this stage, wanting to play for Iowa State in games just like this. Beating the No. 2 team in the country. It’s a great feeling.”
Emanuel Sharp scored 20 points, reaching the mark for the fourth time this season, for Houston. Shead added 14 points, becoming the 51st player in program history to reach 1,000 career points. Cryer, averaging a team-high 17.1 points per game, was held scoreless in the first half and finished with five points.
T.J. Otzelberger became the first Iowa State head coach to beat a team ranked No. 1 (North Carolina) and No. 2 (Houston) in the AP poll.
