Two national championship contenders from the Big 12 faced off — and lived up to the bill — when Iowa State knocked off Houston at home on Feb. 16.

At the final media timeout, Kansas has cut the Iowa State lead to 68-56 with 3:56 left in the game. The Jayhawks are on a 12-3 run, while the Cyclones have struggled to find offense, with a scoring drought of 3:17.

Expanding replay to include all whistled violations may be the next necessary step before a team on the biggest stage pays the price.
