Iowa State center Rob Jones wants to boost his scoring next season and it begins at the charity stripe. The Prior Lake, Minnesota native averaged just under six points per game last season but it could have been more. Jones connected on less than 41 percent of his free throws. It is a weakness he has been working on this summer.

Jones says he has been working on a routine and rhythm at the free throw line.

Free throwing shooting has been a focus of the entire team. The Cyclones finished last in the Big 12 from the stripe last season at 67 percent.

The Cyclones leave August fourth to play three games in the Bahamas.
