College basketball roundup | Iowa State knocks off Kansas

AMES, Iowa — Kansas had Iowa State’s number for what felt like a century.

The Cyclones might finally be turning this rivalry in their favor.

Monte Morris scored 21 points, Georges Niang had 19 and No. 14 Iowa State blew past Kansas 85-72 on Monday night for its fourth straight win.

Abdel Nader added 17 points for the Cyclones (16-4, 5-3 Big 12), who have beaten three of the top four teams in this week’s Top 25.

Iowa State overcame a sluggish start with a 24-7 run midway through the second half, and Niang’s three-point play made it 80-67 with 2 minutes left.
