AMES, Iowa – No. 6 Iowa State (7-1, 0-0 Big 12) forced Jackson State (0-10, 0-0 SWAC) into 24 turnovers en route to a 100-58 victory Sunday evening in Hilton Coliseum.

It was the 23rd-straight victory for the Cyclones in Hilton Coliseum, the second-best string in school history.

The Cyclones had five players in double-figure scoring and were led by Curtis Jones, who buried five 3-pointers en route to 19 points, and Milan Momcilovic, who tallied 18 points on 4-of-6 shooting from beyond the arc. ISU’s 11 3-pointers tied a season high.

Joshua Jefferson posted his second consecutive double-double with 10 points and 13 boards, and Dishon Jackson added 17 points with a 4-of-4 effort from the field and a 9-of-11 performance from the charity stripe.

Nate Heise had a career-high six steals, as the Cyclones had 16 thefts in the victory. Heise’s six steals is tied for fifth on ISU’s single-game steals record chart.

How it Happened

Momcilovic made his first three 3-point attempts to help ISU jump out to an early 17-6 lead. Iowa State maintained its double-digit lead throughout most of the first half despite going through a 1-of-9 stretch from the field.

A 20-6 run gave the Cyclones a 43-17 lead with 2:20 left in the first half. Jones made a pair of 3-pointers in the run, and ISU led 46-24 at the break. Momcilovic had 13 first-half points for the Cyclones.

Dorian McMillian scored JSU’s first 11 points and had 14 of the Tiger’s 24 first-half points.

Gilbert scored nine of ISU’s first 10 points to open the second half to push the Cyclone lead to 58-41. 

Minutes later, Tamin Lipsey and Jones hit back-to-back treys, and the Cyclones forged their largest lead at 70-33 with 12:55 left in the game.

The Tigers bounced back with an 8-0 run, but the Cyclones quickly put on a tough defensive stretch, registering four steals in a 13-0 run to move ahead 83-41 with under 10 minutes to play. Jefferson got hot and had six points in the run.
