No. 14 Iowa State tops Iowa with big run

Dec 13, 2014 - 3:48 AM Iowa City, IA (SportsNetwork.com) - Naz Long had a season-high 21 points on 7- of-11 shooting, Dustin Hogue scored 13 with 13 rebounds and 14th-ranked Iowa State beat Iowa 90-75 on Friday night.

The Cyclones (7-1) played without second-leading scorer Bryce Dejean- Jones, who was suspended for the showdown with the Hawkeyes (8-3) following his arrest early Thursday.

Abdel Nader picked up the slack in Dejean-Jones' absence, contributing a season-best 19 points and six rebounds.

Dejean-Jones was charged with two misdemeanors following a noise complaint at his apartment.

Georges Niang finished with 16 points, seven assists, six rebounds and two blocks for Iowa State, which rode a big second-half run to its fourth straight win.

Aaron White scored 18 points to lead the Hawkeyes, who had their win streak snapped at six games.

Matt Thomas nailed a 3-pointer at the buzzer to give Iowa State a 38-33 halftime lead, and then Cyclones opened the second half on a 24-4 run to seize control of the game.

Iowa State, which scored 18 straight at one point during the surge, led 62-37 after a Niang trey six minutes into the frame.

The Hawkeyes closed to within 75-61 on a Mike Gesell jumper with 4:52 remaining. A steal by Gesell on the next Iowa State possession gave Iowa an opportunity to trim its deficit further, but Josh Oglesby missed a 3-pointer.
