A Gus Johnson Special: Kansas State Outlasts Xavier In Double-OT Epic, 101-96

Salt Lake City, UT (Sports Network) - Jacob Pullen’s three-pointer with 32.1 seconds remaining in the second overtime broke a tie game, and Kansas State sealed the win at the free throw line, as the second-seeded Wildcats captured a memorable Midwest Region semifinal, 101-96, over sixth-seeded Xavier.

Kansas State held a three-point lead in the final seconds of regulation and first overtime, but three Terrell Holloway free throws with five seconds left in the former and Jordan Crawford’s late 28-footer in the latter provided seminal moments from Pullen, who scored eight of his 28 points in the second OT.
