Ames, Iowa — Bernard King hit a runner in the lane with 10.8 seconds left to break the final tie and Texas A&M beat Iowa State 52-50 Tuesday night, handing the Cyclones their sixth straight loss.
Texas A&M (9-12, 3-4 Big 12) survived a game filled with missed shots, turnovers and bad passes after Iowa State (9-13, 1-7) came from eight points down to tie the score three times.
King was just 3-for-17 before hitting his big shot to give A&M a 51-49 lead. Iowa State had a chance to tie it again when Tyray Pearson went to the line for two free throws with 4.8 seconds remaining, but he made only the second.
Iowa State's Jared Homan then was called for a foul trying to steal the ball. Fans booed, Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy stomped on the sideline and a plastic water bottle was thrown onto the court.
