AMES — Iowa ambushed Iowa State for its first win in Ames since 2003. Luka Garza led five Hawkeyes in double figures with 21 points as Iowa never trailed in an 84-68 win. Jordan Bohannon had 12 points and after the final buzzer signed his shoes and left them at the free throw line for former Cyclone star Georges Niang and the ISU students.

The Hawkeyes led by as many as 25 points in the second half as they improve to 8-3.

Bohannon has a decision to make. He can redshirt and return next season if he does not play another game.

Iowa State shot just 34 percent, including two of 12 from three point range, in the opening half against Iowa’s switching defenses. Iowa coach Fran McCaffery.

Iowa State coach Steve Prohm says the Cyclones struggled against Iowa’s zone.

ISU rallied to within seven early in the second half but that is as close as they would get in falling to 6-4.

The Hawkeyes are off until Saturday December 21st when they play Cincinnati at the United Center in Chicago. Iowa State is off until December 22nd when they host Purdue-Fort Wayne.
