AMES — Last year, when Iowa State beat Kansas, fans stormed the court. This year, after the game ended on an anti-climactic Kansas layup attempt, Cyclone fans rejoiced and sang along to “Mr. Brightside” but kept the celebration in the stands.
“He’s one of those guys when he crosses halfcourt, he’s in range,” said Utah coach Craig Smith. “He can go right. He can go left. He’s got an excellent pull-up. He’s got a great floater game.”
No. 2 Iowa State took home its second win over a top-10 opponent after a dominant 74-57 performance against No. 9 Kansas Wednesday. Led by senior guard Curtis Jones, the Cyclones have now won 12 straight games to sit 15-1 overall and 5-0 in the Big 12 Conference.
Milan Momcilovic's absence wasn't felt by Iowa State in its win over Kansas, but the 6-foot-8 sharpshooter's injury will force the Cyclones to adjust.
The honors continue to roll in for the Iowa State Cyclones men’s basketball team, this time at the individual level. Guard Curtis Jones earns his first career Big 12 weekly award after being named the conference player of the week following a Big 12-best 24.
