Iowa State vs. Colorado Game Summary

The Buffs opened the game with a pair of Bangot Dak free throws, but never led again. Iowa State scored the next 10 points, in a preview of the game to come.

The balanced Cyclones were led by center Dishon Jackson's 13 points and 13 more from forward Milan Momcilovic. Star guard Tamin Lipsey tallied a dozen points of his own, including eight in the second half. Josh Jefferson had 12 points and even boards. Nate Heise added 10 points, including a pair of 3-pointers off the bench. The Cyclones shot 59 percent in the game's first half to take control early.

Colorado was led by Dak, who had 20 points. Forward Andrej Jakimovski chipped in 10 points and Harrison Carrington added 11 more points off the bench. The Buffs are stuck in the cellar of the Big 12 and have virtually no postseason shot at this point.

On Saturday, Iowa State will travel to No. 5 Houston for a top 10 showdown with massive conference repercussions. Houston sits atop the league standings, but it's a tight grouping with the Cougars, Iowa State, Arizona and Texas Tech.

Colorado will host Baylor on Saturday. The Bears are on the NCAA Tournament bubble and will have much more on the line than the Buffs on Saturday.
