Lincoln (AP) - Martin Rancik's disputed basket at the buzzer was ruled good after a replay review and, following a wild scene in which both teams celebrated, No. 23 Iowa State beat Nebraska 60-59 Saturday.

Down 59-58, Iowa State's Jamaal Tinsley had his shot blocked out of bounds by Kimani Ffriend with eight-tenths of a seconds left.

The Cyclones kept the ball and Tinsley threw a perfect lob pass that Rancik caught and laid in over Ffriend as time expired.

The Cyclones stormed the court, sure they had won. But the officials quickly waved off the basket, and went to look at the replay.

At that point, the Cornhuskers started to celebrate and their fans rushed the court.

After reviewing the play, the officials ruled Rancik got the shot off in time.

Tinsley led the Cyclones with 23 points. Kantrail Horton had 12 points and Tyray Pearson had 10 rebounds as Iowa State (15-3, 3-2) won its first Big 12 road game.

Iowa State pulled out to a 10-point lead early in the second half. The Cornhuskers never let the Cyclones get away and rallied to tie it.

The Huskers (8-9, 1-2) took their first lead since the opening possession when Ffriend missed two free throws, but Rodney Fields got the rebound and hit a spinning shot through traffic to put Nebraska up 59-58 with 17 seconds left.

Cary Cochran led Nebraska with 16 points, including a 3-pointer that got Nebraska within 58-57 with about a minute left. It was Cochran's fourth 3-pointer of the game.

Fields finished with 12 points and Cookie Belcher scored 10 for the Huskers. Nebraska's Steffon Bradford had 10 rebounds, stepping in when Ffriend went out with foul trouble early in the second half.

The Cyclones lost 6-foot-10 forward Paul Shirley, who averages 12.6 points and 7.5 rebounds, when he fouled out with 7:50 left to play. Shirley had just two points and four rebounds, but Pearson filled in nicely, getting 10 rebounds.

Iowa State led 27-24 at halftime after shooting 45 percent in the opening 20 minutes.

The Cyclones had led by as much as 12 as Nebraska went 7:50 without a point after Ffriend's short jump shot 17 seconds into the game. Belcher finally snapped the drought on a jumper with 11:53 left in the half, which started an 8-0 run that got the Huskers back in the game.

Nebraska opened the game 1-for-9, but made nine of their next 13 to close the gap.
