Iowa State turned up the defense at crunch time to rally for a victory in Iowa City, Thursday night. The third ranked Cyclones held Iowa without a field goal for more than six minutes down the stretch for an 89-80 victory, their first win in Carver-Hawkeye Arena since 2014.

That’s ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger. It was a game the Cyclones trailed by 13 points in the opening half before battling back.

A Nate Heise layup with just over three minutes remaining gave the Cyclones their first lead of the game.

Curtis Jones led ISU with 23 points and Joshua Jefferson had a huge game with 19 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. Iowa State made eight of 15 from three point range and scored 52 points in the second half.

That’s Iowa coach Fran McCaffery. The Hawkeyes were dominated on the glass and the Cyclones had 18 offensive rebounds.

Owen Freeman led the Hawkeyes with 16 points.
