AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State’s Monte Morris showed so much promise as a freshman that it looked like he might become one of the nation’s best point guards someday. That day has arrived. Morris has forced his way into the discussion about the country’s top floor generals with a brilliant start to his sophomore season.

Morris has 56 assists against just nine turnovers through 10 games — a pace that tops the national assist-to-turnover ratio mark that Morris set last season. He’s averaging 11.3 points per game on 50.6 percent shooting. Morris and the ninth-ranked Cyclones (9-1) host Mississippi Valley State on Wednesday.
