Red-hot and battle-tested BYU pulled away from Iowa State men's basketball, who put up a hard fight despite missing Keshon Gilbert and Tamin Lipsey.

The Cougars outlasted the Cyclones 96-92 in a wild Big 12 Tournament quarterfinal contest Thursday and will advance to a semifinal game against Houston or Colorado on Friday. Earlier, BYU survived an overtime battle in Ames. The victories have been part of the Cougars’ nine-game winning streak.
