IRVING, Texas – Iowa State junior safety Kamari Cotton-Moya was named Big 12 Co-Defensive Player of the Week after his outstanding performance vs. Texas Tech on Saturday.
A native of Bakersfield, Calif., Cotton-Moya was a key player in Iowa State’s dominating performance vs. one of the nation’s most potent offenses. Texas Tech was averaging 46.0 points per game prior to kickoff, but the Cyclones held the Red Raiders to season lows in points (10) and total offense (306).
Cotton-Moya had two takeaways in the game, including a 48-yard interception return for a touchdown, ISU’s first defensive touchdown in over two years. It was his second interception of the season.
The co-captain also forced a fumble and recovered it. He ended the game with six tackles and one TFL.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Peter Jok scored 20 of his 27 points in the first half and Iowa cruised to a 95-67 win over Texas Rio Grande Valley on Sunday. Tyler Cook scored 15 points and Isaiah Moss had a career-high 14 for the Hawkeyes (3-1), who shot 51 percent from the field and scored 41 points off 26 Vaqueros turnovers.
Jok, Iowa’s top scorer, left a few minutes into the second half after a collision with a defender at the rim. Jok stayed in to shoot his two free throws, but did not play after that. He went to the locker room for a couple minutes before returning to the bench.
Jok was 9-of-13 shooting, including 5-of-8 3-pointers, in 19 minutes. Antonio Green scored 17 points to lead UTRGV (0-4), which out-rebounded Iowa 43-38. The Hawkeyes went on a 26-7 run in the middle of the game to pull away from the Vaqueros. Iowa’s Brady Ellingson scored 11 points. Iowa forward Dale Jones did not play after suffering a fractured wrist on Thursday against Seton Hall. Jones is expected to miss 8-9 weeks.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (AP) — Trevon Bluiett scored 20 points and Edmond Sumner got 11 of his 17 points in the second half, helping 11th-ranked Xavier hold off Northern Iowa 67-59 to win the Tire Pros Invitational on Sunday night.
After leading by 16 points in the second half, the Musketeers needed three free throws from Bluiett in the final 19.7 seconds to seal it. The Panthers (3-1) came on late and pulled within five before Xavier (5-0) stretched it back out.
Northern Iowa, which overcame an 18-point deficit to stun Oklahoma in the second round Friday, was led by Jeremy Morgan with 20 points. Bennett Koch added 11 points.

Iowa State cracked 100 with 11 minutes left, and coach Steve Prohm was able to pull Morris from the game with 7:46 left so Morris should get a standing ovation.
