Niang scored 18 points and led the Cyclones back fromm a 14-point halftime deficit to win 70-66 and repeat as Big 12 tournament champions. It remains to be seen if the loss will knock the Jayhawks out of a No. 2 seed in the NCAA tournament. They will have to wait 24 hours to find out.
Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg dedicated the victory to ailing ISU athletic director Jamie Pollard who is hospitalized after undergoing triple bypass open heart surgery following a heart attack. Pollard sent a message to Iowa State fans prior to the game.
