WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) --- Milan Momcilovic scored 20 points and Iowa State
sank 11 3-pointers to propel No. 10 Iowa State to a dominant 81-58 win over No.
1 Purdue on Saturday.
Momcilovic, Killyan Toure and Joshua Jefferson all hit three 3-pointers. Toure
scored 13, Blake Buchanan 12, and Jefferson 11 for the Cyclones. Iowa State
shot 59% in the second half.
Leading 35-31 at halftime, the Cyclones used an 11-0 run to take a 48-33 lead
with 17:17 left. Tamin Lipsey, Momcilovic and Toure sank three consecutive
3-pointers to finish the spurt.
Iowa State kept building on its lead from there, leading by as many as 27
points. The Cyclones shot 54% while the Boilermakers hit 41%. Purdue had 15
turnovers, three more than the Cyclones.
Purdue was 4 of 18 on 3-pointers. The Boilermakers didn't help themselves at
the free-throw line either, hitting just 6 of 14.
Braden Smith led Purdue with 11 points and Oscar Cluff and Daniel Jacobsen each
scored 10.
The Cyclones shot 48% while holding the Boilermakers to 37% in the opening
half. Purdue's top two scorers both struggled in the first half as Fletcher
Loyer made 1 of 5 and Trey Kaufman-Renn 1 of 8. Kaufman-Renn missed his first
six shots, finally scoring with 1:21 left in the half.
Jacobsen was 4 of 6 from the field, but went to the bench with two fouls with
4:22 remaining before halftime.
The loss snapped a string of 36 consecutive non-conference home victories for
Purdue.
