January 26th, 2026 by Christian Adams

STILLWATER, Okla. – Iowa State (18-2, 5-2 Big 12) used a 51-point first half, its best in conference play in over a year, to power past Oklahoma State (14-6, 2-5 Big 12) by a score of 84-71 on a snowy Saturday at Gallagher-Iba Arena.
The Cyclones earned a season sweep over the Cowboys as they moved to 18-2 for the first time in program history. Iowa State’s strong first half was the fourth 50-plus point opening half of the season.
For the first time since Nov. 17 against Stonehill, Iowa State had a pair of players score 20-plus. Milan Momcilovic led the way with a game-high 29 points, while Joshua Jefferson chipped in 20 of his own. For Momcilovic, it was his eighth game of the year with at least five 3-point makes, and it was also his sixth contest scoring 25-plus points. Tamin Lipsey had 13 points to go with a team-high five assists and a pair of swipes. Blake Buchanan had nine points and led the team in rebounding with nine. Killyan Toure would finish with ten points.
Oklahoma State’s offense was spearheaded by the tandem of Kanye Clary and Jaylen Curry, who each finished with 19 points. They were the only two Cowboys to finish in double figures. Parsa Fallah had an OSU-best seven rebounds, while both Clary and Curry had three dimes apiece.
The win was just ISU’s second in the last six trips to Stillwater. The Cyclones show over 50 percent from the field and 42 percent from deep. 18 ISU turnovers helped spark a strong second half for the Cowboys, who outscored ISU by 17.
