Marquis Gilstrap added 13 points and 13 boards. LaRon Dendy and Justin Hamilton each chipped in 10 points for Iowa State, which will be the No. 11 seed in next week's Big 12 tourney.
Jacob Pullen's 27-point performance wasn't enough for the Wildcats (24-6, 11-5), who dropped their final two games heading into the conference tourney as the No. 2 seed coming off Wednesday's lopsided loss to Kansas.
Curtis Kelly donated 19 points for Kansas State, which lost to Iowa State in Manhattan for the first time since February 21, 2001.

Garrett made 1-of-2 shots from the foul line to make it 81-79 with 35.9 ticks to go. After Pullen missed a layup, Gilstrap also went 1-of-2 from the charity stripe to extend Iowa State's lead to three with 26 seconds left.
Clemente was off the mark on a three but Sutton grabbed the offensive rebound. However, Sutton lost control of the ball as he went up for the putback and turned it over.
Gilstrap made 1-of-2 from the line to make it an 83-79 game with 9.7 ticks left on the clock. However, things got interesting when Pullen was fouled on a three-point shot at the opposite end and made all three with 3.2 ticks left.
Christopherson then made a pair of big foul shots to put Iowa State ahead 85-82. Pullen's shot from near midcourt was well off the mark as time expired.
Garrett made 1-of-2 from the foul line to give Iowa State a 74-71 edge with two minutes left in regulation. But Clemente came up big for Kansas State at the other end, draining a three-pointer to tie the contest.
After each team missed on their ensuing possessions, Gilstrap had his layup blocked by Kelly with about 30 seconds to go. After the Wildcats took a timeout, Pullen let the clock go down before missing a long trey.
The Cyclones pulled down the rebound and were left with 0.8 seconds. But Kansas State stole the inbounds pass following a timeout to send the tilt into overtime.
Iowa State held a 42-33 margin following 20 minutes of action.
Pullen scored the first four points of the second half to pull the Wildcats within five, 42-37. Moments later, Pullen made a pair of free throws to cut the deficit to 46-43 a little more than three minutes in.

MySportsbook.com: NBA Championship Odds
With the playoffs about two months away, the top two teams in the Western Conference are the clear cut leaders to win the NBA Championship. The Dallas Mavericks have the best record in the NBA (44-9) and have been absolutely scorching since the second week of the season. What makes the Mavs’ record more impressive is the fact that they dropped their first four games of the season. Currently they have won 17 out of their last 18 and are MySportsbook.com’s favorite (2-1) to win it all. Right behind the Mavs are the Pacific leading Phoenix Suns (39-13). Last season, the Suns lost in the Conference Finals to non-other then the Mavericks four games to two. Of course the Suns were without center Amare Stoudemire who has is averaging 19.9 PPG and 9.5 RPG since coming back from his knee injury. Unlike the Mavs, the Suns have struggled a bit lately having lost their last three and four out of their last seven. Of course the main reason for their three straight loses is due to the absence of two time MVP Steve Nash, who is out with a shoulder injury. Heads-up, the Mavs have beaten the Suns in both of their meetings this season.
In the Eastern Conference, the Pistons (32-19) are the favorites to win it all at 6-1. The addition of Chris Webber seems to have been a good move for the Pistons. Since coming over from the 76ers, Webber has averaged 13.1 PPG and 7.3 RPG and the Pistons are 11-4. Even though the defending champion Heat are currently on the playoff making cusp, they are the Eastern Conference team that is getting the most action to win it all (9-1). The fact that Shaquille O’Neal is back in the starting lineup after missing 39 games probably has something to do with this. No doubt, Shaq makes a difference when in the lineup as their winning six out of their last seven would indicate.
