In a game that had its fair share of offense, App State’s guards kept pace with Iowa State’s talented backcourt. Junior Ronshad Shabazz and freshman Justin Forrest both recorded over 30 points, including Forrest’s game-high of 32. Forrest exploded in the second half for 26 points, which is now the all-time record for points in a half in Puerto Rico Tip-Off history. S
habazz impressed in the first half, dropping 21 points and nailing four 3-pointers. Allowing 10 Iowa State 3-pointers fell partially on Mountaineers’ guards, but without their stellar offensive play, they wouldn’t have been able to keep pace in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off’s highest combined scoring game.
