TALLAHASSEE, FLA. ? It was Tim Pickett’s floor, but Jake Sullivan’s game.

Sullivan, Iowa State’s tattooed, deadly outside shooter, jump-started the Cyclones in the first half with three straight three-pointers and then came up with the critical points late to key his team’s 62-59 second-round NIT win.

“He came out red-hot, killing the crowd, killing our game,” said Florida State’s Adam Waleskowski.

Sullivan and Marcus Jefferson each hit two free throws in the final eight seconds to seal the victory.

Jefferson’s two free throws put Iowa State ahead by four points with eight seconds left, but Andrew Wilson’s three-pointer made it 60-59 before Sullivan iced the game with his two free throws in the final second.

In other NIT games Tuesday, it was: Marquette 66, Boise State 53; and Oregon 68, George Mason 54.
