Izaiah Brockington had a double-double with 19 points and a game-high 12 rebounds for Iowa State (14-5, 2-5). But Brockington didn’t get much help offensively from his teammates, as no other Cyclone scored more than Tyrese Hunter’s seven points.

Iowa State opened the second half on a 10-2 run to pull to within 36-33 on Jackson’s 3-pointer with 13:42 left, but that’s as close as the Cyclones would get. The Horned Frogs scored the game’s next 10 points, including six by Baugh, to take a 46-33 lead with 10:01 remaining.
