Cincinnati Basketball: Simas Lukosius hits game-winning shot to edge Kansas State

Cincinnati Bearcats forward Simas Lukosius hit the game-winning basket in the final seconds to edge the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday!

Following a memorable finish to slip by Big 12 opponent Kansas State, Lukosius broke down the last-second shot in a press conference.

“The play was something we usually run but just with a little bit of a twist and we executed really well. I felt some space, got it up and it felt great.”

Lukosius collected 13 points and four assists to help the Bearcats snap a recent losing skid and stay alive for the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
