IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – Naz Long scored a season-high 21 points and 14th-ranked Iowa State pounded Iowa 90-75 on the road Friday night without suspended star Bryce Dejean-Jones.  Reserve Abdel Nader scored 19 points and Georges Niang had 16 with seven assists for the Cyclones (7-1), who opened the second half on a 21-2 run to pull away from the rival Hawkeyes.

Cyclones coach Fred Hoiberg suspended Dejean-Jones, the team’s second-leading scorer at 17.1 points per game, after he was arrested Thursday on a marijuana charge and noise violations. The pot charge was quickly dismissed by a judge, but the noise charges are pending.

Aaron White had 18 points to lead Iowa (8-3).
