Iowa State’s strength and toughness overwhelmed Iowa as the 17th ranked Cyclones won it 73-53, their most lopsided win in the history of the series.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. The Cyclones outrebounded the Hawkeyes 50-32 and held them to 27 percent shooting.

After feasting on a series of cupcakes early the Hawkeyes have wilted as the schedule has toughened. They have dropped three straight and are now 7-3.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. Leading scorer Keegan Murray was held to nine points and did not make his first basket until about 12 minutes remaining.

Next up for Iowa State is a home game on Sunday at Noon against Jackson State. Iowa will next play on Saturday, December 18th against Utah State at the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, SD.
