BYU just won its seventh consecutive game in just about the wildest possible fashion.
Tuesday night at No. 10 Iowa State, the 23rd-ranked Cougars didn’t score until nearly seven minutes into the contest, went on a tear to lead by 21 in the second half, collapsed late and then ultimately pulled out the victory in double overtime.
It was, without a doubt, one of the most memorable games of the season in all of college basketball.
Social media was buzzing after BYU stunned the Cyclones. Here are some of the most notable reactions.

Caught a little heat when I said @BYUMBB Richie Saunders was first team All @Big12Conference. Pretty easy decision for me.

Saw brackets with BYU as an 8 seed. What a nightmare for that one seed.

BYU has now won road games at both Arizona and Iowa State in the past few weeks.

Cougars will be a trendy deep pick on Selection Sunday.
I’ll say it again: This program was denied the chance to make a deep NCAA Tournament run in 2020.
It could make up for it in 2025.
If the team on Saturday wasn't Utah I almost might feel bad for the environment they are gonna walk into Saturday night at the Marriott Center.
