No. 16 Kansas turned up the defense and shut down eighth-ranked Iowa State in a 69-52 victory that helped to keep the Jayhawks in the Big 12 title race. Kansas moved into a tie with the Cyclones at 7-4 in the league, 2 1/2 games back of Houston and Arizona. Iowa State has now lost three in a row.
No. 16 Kansas shuts down No. 8 Iowa State in desperation game for both teams in the Big 12 race Iowa State center Dishon Jackson, left, shoots under pressure from Kansas center Hunter Dickinson during the second half of an NCAA college basketball game, Monday, Feb. 3, 2025, in Lawrence, Kan.
The Jayhawks held Iowa State to just 3-for-21 shooting from beyond the 3-point arc. And while the Cyclones only turned the ball over seven times, just about all of them — like that alley-oop dunk by Adams — turned into fast-break points. While the Jayhawks, who blew a 19-point halftime lead at Baylor last weekend, thrived with their backs against the wall, Iowa State lost its third consecutive game while struggling without injured forward Milan Momcilovic in the lineup.
