FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Monte Morris had 18 points and six assists and No. 19 Iowa State followed a win over top-ranked Oklahoma with a 73-60 victory over TCU on Saturday. The Cyclones (15-4, 4-3 Big 12) started slowly five days after knocking off the Sooners at home but went ahead for good on Morris’ steal and layup during an 11-0 run that put Iowa State in front 26-19 late in the first half.

Chauncey Collins scored 14 points to lead the Horned Frogs (9-10, 1-6), who have dropped four straight since beating rival Texas at home for their earliest Big 12 victory in their fourth year in the conference.

Matt Thomas scored 15 points for Iowa State, which won its third straight in the only game in a stretch of five against a team not currently in the Top 10.
