Iowa State improved to 15-0 in Hilton Coliseum this season — and all but two of those wins have come by eight points or more. The Cyclones outscored Texas Tech 28-0 in points off turnovers on Saturday and led by as many as 21 points in their 82-74 win.
Kansas State welcomed All-America post Ayoka Lee back to its lineup Wednesday night after a month away with an ankle injury. Iowa State was an unwelcoming host.
