Iowa State thrashes No. 5 Kansas
Marial Shayok scored 24 points, and Iowa State routed No. 5 Kansas 77-60 on Saturday in Ames, Iowa, for its fifth straight win.
Freshman Tyrese Haliburton made four three-pointers and scored 14 points for the Cyclones (12-2, 2-0), who opened Big 12 play with back-to-back wins for the first time since 2015 after forcing the Jayhawks (12-2, 1-1) into a season-high 24 turnovers.
Despite getting outrebounded 41-26, Iowa State made surprisingly easy work of Kansas.
The Jayhawks played without big man Udoka Azubuike, who was hit on the right wrist during Friday's practice. Coach Bill Self said about an hour before tip-off that X-rays on Azubuike's wrist were negative, but he was in too much pain to play.
