College basketball schedule: Iowa State edges BYU in battle of unbeatens

It’s not easy to keep an undefeated streak alive, even if it is only November. Several ranked teams were threatened on Wednesday, but they each found a way to pull out the victory and stay perfect on the young season.

Here’s everything that happened around the Top 25:

Fresh off an upset win over Michigan, the No. 21 Iowa State Cyclones defeated BYU on the road Wednesday, 90-88, to push their record to 4-0.

The Cougars led for most of the evening, but were never able to gain much distance on Iowa State. Midway through the second half, the Cyclones started chipping away, then eventually tied the game with 7:20 to go.

No. 14 Wichita State used a 19-6 run midway through the second half to pull away from Tulsa en route to a 77-54 win on the road Wednesday night.

The game was tied at the half, but Wichita State took the lead for good on a VanVleet jumper with just over 14 minutes to play. VanVleet’s shot started the Shockers’ surge and Tulsa was never able to recover.

Another power conference school fell victim to the upset bug on Wednesday when North Carolina Central upset North Carolina State, 82-72, in overtime in Raleigh, N.C.

NC State joins Miami and North Carolina as ACC teams to be knocked off at home by schools from a smaller conference.
