AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Freshman Mo Bamba scored a season-high 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds to lead Texas over Iowa State 73-57 Monday night.

The Longhorns led the entire way in a game they needed after a 35-point blowout loss over the weekend at West Virginia, the worst loss in coach Shaka Smart’s career. The win also kept the Longhorns (13-7, 4-4 Big 12) off the bottom of the Big 12 standings nearing the halfway point of the conference season. Texas finished last in the Big 12 last season.

Cameron Lard had 12 points and 12 rebounds to lead Iowa State (11-8, 2-6). The Cyclones’ growing pains continue. After knocking off then-No. 8 Texas Tech at home in their biggest win of the season, any confidence left from that win disappeared quickly under Roach’s early long-range shooting and the dominant presence of Bamba underneath.

Iowa State hosts Tennessee on Saturday.

CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Sean Lloyd Jr., scored 15 points with six rebounds and three steals and Kavion Pippen had a double-double and Southern Illinois beat Northern Iowa 64-53 on Sunday.

Klint Carlson made a jumper with 16:10 left to shave Northern Iowa’s deficit to 30-27 before an 11-5 Salukis run extended their lead to nine. Tywhon Pickford’s 3-point play reduced the deficit to six, but Southern Illinois (12-9, 4-4 Missouri Valley) took advantage of the Panthers’ four-minute scoring drought with a 9-0 run and led 50-35 with 7:41 to go.
