AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (9-2, 0-0 Big 12) won its seventh-straight game in the confines of Hilton Coliseum, taking down Florida A&M (2-7, 0-0 SWAC), 96-58 on Sunday evening.

The Cyclones continued their solid scoring efforts, scoring 90-plus points for the fourth consecutive game. It’s the first time an ISU squad has done that since 2013-14 when the team did so from Nov. 20-Dec. 7, 2013.

ISU was led by a balanced effort as five different Cyclones finished with double-digit points for the second straight game, spearheaded by sophomore guard Tamin Lipsey’s 19. Lipsey was joined by Tre King (18), Milan Momcilovic (14), Jackson Paveletzke (13) and Keshon Gilbert (10) in double figures.

King recorded his first double-double in a Cyclone uniform, going for 18 and 10 rebounds on an efficient 8-of-11 from the floor. Lipsey set a new personal best for threes in a game, shattering his old high of two with five triples, also chipping in five dimes. Paveletzke notched an ISU-best 13 points, canning a trio of triples.

Florida A&M was led on offense by Keith Lamar, who was red hot from deep, cashing 7-of-13 3-pointers to end the game with 27 points and eight boards. Morrell Schramm also finished in double-figures with 10 points as the team’s leading scorer – Love Bettis – had to exit the game early with an injury.

Iowa State finished with just five turnovers on the day, the second-fewest in the T.J. Otzelberger era. ISU tallied 15 steals, forcing 23 Rattler turnovers and scoring 31 points off of them. The Cyclones ended the game, shooting 59 percent from the floor and 50 percent from deep.

How It Happened
The Cyclones jumped on the Rattlers early, forcing eight turnovers in the first eight minutes to race out to a 21-8 lead. King had it going early for ISU, as he scored the first seven points for Iowa State.

ISU would continue its run, stretching the lead to as much as 25, 36-11, in the first half. FAMU’s Lamar kept the Rattlers offense on the tracks despite earning his third foul in the first stanza. At the break, Lamar had 11 points and was 3-of-3 from deep.

The second half was much of the same, as Iowa State kept control of the game with strong defense and shooting. After cashing three triples in the first half, Lipsey added two more to his total, while Lamar added four threes in the second period.

The Cyclone lead grew to as large as 39 points with a minute and a half remaining before they went on to win by 38.

Top Performer
Tre King continued his hot run, earning his first double-double as an Iowa State Cyclone. The senior out of Lexington, Ky., surpassed his season high of eight boards with 10 to achieve the feat. Overall, it is King’s ninth career double-double, with the previous eight coming at Eastern Kentucky.
