Tenth ranked Kansas connected on 56 percent for the game to beat 20th ranked Iowa State 70-61 in Ames. The Jayhawks won without Big 12 leading scorer Ochai (oh-cheye) Agbaji (uh-bah-G), who was sidelined due to COVID protocols. ISU coach T.J. Otzelberger says a slow start defensively was costly.

Otzelberger says the Cyclones struggled guard the dribble.

The Cyclones are 3-6 in the Big-12 and head to Texas on Saturday looking for a season sweep of the Longhorns.

Isaiah Brockington led Iowa State with 24.

The 11th ranked Iowa State women take a share of the Big 12 lead into tonight’s (Wed. night’s) game at home against 25th ranked Kansas State. The Cyclones are 7-2 as the second half of the conference race begins.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly. The Cyclones rallied late to win the first meeting 73-70 in Manhattan.

Kansas State standout center Ayoka Lee scored 38 points in the first meeting with the Cyclones.

K-State is fourth in the Big 12 with a record of 6-3.
