AMES, Iowa – Iowa State (3-1) overcame a poor shooting afternoon in a 66-45 victory over Niagara (0-4) Sunday in Hilton Coliseum.
The Cyclones shot just 40 percent (24-of-60) from the field, but got help from their defense down the stretch, holding the Purple Eagles to just nine points in the final 13 minutes to break open a tight game.
It was ISU's 45th consecutive non-conference home victory.
Only two Cyclones were in double-digit scoring – Tre Singleton (13) and Jaquan Johnson (12) – but their rebounding played a huge factor in the outcome. ISU outboarded Niagara, 49-26 and grabbed 20 offensive caroms.
