Final from Ames. This was a 10 point game with around 3:30 to go before things were blown open.

No Milan Momcilovic for Iowa State, so this is an even more impressive win. The Cyclones were led by Curtis Jones' 25 and Dishon Jackson's 17; the team had 43 rebounds and 17 assists on the night. They also shot just over 60% from three on 13 attempts.

Zeke Mayo had 17 and no other Jayhawk reached double figures. They turned the ball over 17 times on the night and shot 40% from the field. Hunter Dickinson finished with 6 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 fouls in 29 minutes. He picked up his 2nd personal with around 9:00 to go in the first half and that helped Iowa State to a 10 point advantage at the half.

Iowa State has a tough road trip to West Virginia slated for Saturday. Kansas will look to regroup against Kansas State and TCU before a pivotal game with Houston next weekend.

[-STAT-]

ISU has been so reliant on their defense the last few seasons, nothing has changed this time around, but they've really figured things out offensively to really compliment their defensive abilities. Otzelberger has quickly turned into one of the premier coaches in the country, and has turned ISU into a perennial power. You look at their only loss? Auburn at the Maui, reason they're the top 2 teams in the country.
