AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State will likely get back star forward Cameron Lard and key reserve Zoran Talley back from suspensions for their next game next Monday.

The Cyclones largely survived their absences. But the biggest question for the week ahead for coach Steve Prohm will be how to integrate Lard and Talley into a rotation that has mostly been clicking so far.

Marial Shayok scored 18 points with seven rebounds, freshman Tyrese Haliburton had a career-high 16 and Iowa State cruised past Nebraska-Omaha 82-55 on Monday night for its third straight win.

Michael Jacobson scored 13 points with 10 rebounds for his first double-double with the Cyclones (6-1), who never trailed in disposing of the Mavericks.

“Those guys are set to play next week, and we’re excited to get them back,” Prohm said of Lard and Talley. “The biggest thing is for our whole team is, can we be selfless? Can we play for Iowa State, and can we play the right way?”

Iowa State showed no signs of fatigue after spending last week at the Maui Invitational, scoring the game’s first 11 points and jumping ahead 41-28 by the break. Freshman Talen Horton-Tucker then buried back-to-back 3s to make it a 60-36 game with just over 14 minutes left.

Terrence Lewis scored 15 points and Horton-Tucker had 14 points, six rebounds and five steals for Iowa State.

The Cyclones outrebounded the Mavs 46-33 — with Jacobson, a Nebraska transfer, again leading the way.

JT Gibson scored 16 to lead Omaha (3-4).
