Will Clyburn wasn't set? Will as on offense and it was Craft that wasn't set. It was a blocking foul on Craft, but they called it a charge on Clyburn. Clyburn scored on the play and should have gone to the free throw line. That would have put ISU up 5 with a 1:40 left. In the studio right after the game Shaquille O'Neal called out the refs and said they screwed ISU. I think this very play caused a change in the rules for the very next season.

Regarding the question that was asked: what would you do if you 10 points to use on Iowa State losses, you overlooked an easy one - in the 01/27/2025 game at Arizona, if Jefferson made his first free throw it would have been a 4 point game and the Caleb Love shot would not have mattered. That's an easy use of one point right there !

I did not need to relive the 2020 Big 12 Championship on a Monday morning

I haven't been able to listen to the pod, so we're allowed to distribute 10 points among as many games as we wish?

I caught a quick look at the YouTube feed and someone suggested ISU-UCLA '97 Sweet 16 for one point. I definitely would have that on my list.

It's probably an age thing for @JakeBrend and @JacksonLPence, but I would have taken those final 3 points and put one each on the Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas football games in 2005, and win those in regulation.

A 10-1 season there would have gone a long way.

If you are looking for 2 points (as you were at one point in the pod), how about Seneca Wallace and crew beating Alabama in a bowl game in 2001? Bless your heart Tony Yelk.
