MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Iowa State was drilled at home by TCU a week ago, then had to sit around without another game until Saturday, left to brood over its uphill climb to get back into the Big 12 race.

The Cyclones finally released that pent-up angst against No. 18 Kansas State.

NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Iowa State got an offensive spark off the bench and saw its leading scorer come alive when he was needed, and that was just enough to earn another road victory.

Lindell Wigginton scored 17 points to help lead No. 17 Iowa State to a 75-74 victory over Oklahoma on Monday night.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State's Lindell Wigginton leapt into the lane to steal a pass, sprinted down the court and got fouled. He then casually flipped the ball underhanded toward the basket from 30 feet — and found the bottom of the net.

It was that kind of night for Wigginton, who has transitioned from a starter on a losing team to a lethal weapon off the bench for a winning one.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Lindell Wigginton scored a season-high 28 points off the bench and 20th-ranked Iowa State cruised past West Virginia 93-68 on Wednesday night, its fourth win in five games.

Marial Shayok scored 18 points for the surging Cyclones (16-5, 5-3 Big 12), who shot 26 of 40 inside the 3-point line and 29 of 32 from the free throw line.

OXFORD, Miss. (AP) — Iowa State whipped the basketball around and through Mississippi's zone with precision and purpose, finding open players on nearly every possession during the second half.

By the time the Rebels figured out where the ball was, one of the Cyclones was usually slamming it through the hoop or making another open jumper.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — The Lindell Wigginton and Cam Lard that Iowa State had hoped to see all season finally showed up on Saturday, giving the Cyclones the hope that last year's stars are ready to play bigger roles down the stretch.

Marial Shayok scored 20 points and the Cyclones beat the Cowboys 72-59, sweeping the season series .

AMES, Iowa (AP) — No. 20 Iowa State appeared to have done just enough to survive on a snowy and sleepy Saturday in Ames.

Barry Brown had other ideas.

Brown hit a layup with four seconds left and Kansas State stunned Iowa State 58-57 on Saturday, handing the Cyclones their second straight loss.

Brown had 23 points to lead the Wildcats (12-4, 2-2 Big 12), who closed the game on a 10-2 run for their first road win of the year. Iowa State (12-4, 2-2) didn't score over the final 2:42.

A look at the upcoming week around the Big 12 Conference.

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — Lindell Wigginton is still working his way back into the lineup, but is improving each time out.

Wigginton, playing just his second game since missing 10 with a foot injury, scored 17 points and had eight rebounds to help lead Iowa State to a 69-63 victory over Oklahoma State Wednesday night in the Big 12 Conference opener for both teams.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — The next time Iowa State plays at home it'll be against Kansas — the favorite to win yet another Big 12 title.

The Cyclones showed on Friday night that they might be healthy enough to hang with the top-ranked Jayhawks by then.

Marial Shayok scored 23 points in just 22 minutes, Lindell Wigginton had 15 points after missing the previous 10 games with a strained foot and Iowa State rolled past Eastern Illinois 101-53.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Injured Iowa State star Lindell Wigginton's shirt read "Then What?" when he met with reporters for the first time in weeks Thursday

That's a question the Cyclones will soon be asking themselves once Wigginton and Solomon Young return to the lineup.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State fans showed up to Hilton Coliseum on Friday night to the sight of star Lindell Wigginton in a cardinal-colored cast instead of a cardinal and gold jersey.

It was of somewhat small solace that the Cyclones played so well without their most talented player — whose timetable for a return to the court was described by coach Steve Prohm as a "week-to-week thing."

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State sophomore guard Lindell Wigginton, a preseason All-Big 12 selection, showed up to Friday's game against Missouri with a cast on his left foot and could be out of action for a considerable period of time.

The Cyclones have yet to announce what Wigginton's injury is or how long they'll be without him. But the fact that Wigginton was using a scooter to get around isn't a good sign for either him or the Cyclones.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Transfers Michael Jacobson and Marial Shayok gave Iowa State the instant impact it was hoping for in its opener.

The Cyclones will need more of that for the rest of the month with sophomore Cam Lard — and, surprisingly, senior reserve Zoran Talley — suspended until at least December.

Iowa State

Last season: 13-18

Nickname: Cyclones

Coach: Steve Prohm

Conference: Big 12

Who's gone: Guard Donovan Jackson, who averaged 15 points a game a year ago.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State lost its last seven games in 2017-18 in part because it didn't have enough players to compete in the Big 12.

Fourth-year coach Steve Prohm might have too many guys this season — and how he manages a suddenly-stacked roster will determine if the Cyclones can get back to the NCAA Tournament after a one-year absence.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State guard Lindell Wigginton says he is withdrawing from consideration for the NBA draft and returning to school for his sophomore season.

Wigginton, who averaged 16.7 points and 2.8 assists a game as a freshman, announced his plans on Wednesday.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State has added Colorado State transfer Prentiss Nixon, a 6-foot-2 guard who averaged a team-high 16.2 points per game as a junior last season for the Rams.

Nixon also hit 152 3-pointers in three seasons at Colorado State. He will sit out next season and be eligible to play in 2019-2020, coach Steve Prohm said Tuesday.

The Iowa State Cyclones may be able to put their miserable season behind them quickly next season — if a few things break their way.

Iowa State finished 2017-18 with a 68-64 loss to Texas in the conference tournament on Wednesday. The Cyclones finished just 13-18 and saw their streak of NCAA Tournament appearances snapped at six.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State remains in last place in the Big 12 after beating a ranked opponent for the third time in three weeks last Saturday.

Yet, how the Cyclones beat then-No. 17 Oklahoma reminded the rest of the league that their time in the cellar could be short lived.

Iowa State (13-11, 4-8 Big 12) defeated Oklahoma 88-80 on Saturday thanks to the performances of its cornerstone freshmen, Lindell Wigginton and Cameron Lard.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Trae Young might be the best freshman in America — but he wasn't the best one in Ames on Saturday.

That distinction went to Iowa State's Lindell Wigginton, who kept his undermanned team in contention before drilling the 3 that sent Young and the Sooners packing on the road yet again.

Wigginton upstaged Young by scoring 26 points and the Cyclones upset No. 17 Oklahoma 88-80 on Saturday, handing the Sooners their sixth consecutive loss on the road.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — West Virginia's losing skid keeps getting bigger, and coach Bob Huggins isn't quite sure what to do about it.

Donovan Jackson scored 25 points, Lindell Wigginton added 22 and Iowa State, on the strength of 62 percent shooting, rolled past 15th-ranked West Virginia 93-77 on Wednesday night to send the short-handed Mountaineers to their fifth loss in six games.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — After a lofty start this season, No. 8 Texas Tech was humbled this week.

The Big 12 has a way of doing that — even ones as experienced and talented as the Red Raiders.

Freshman Cameron Lard scored 18 points and Iowa State cruised past Texas Tech 70-52 on Saturday, its first win over a ranked opponent this season and its biggest win over a Top-10 team in terms of margin of victory.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State is finally on the board in the Big 12 thanks to freshman Lindell Wigginton's most electrifying performance yet.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State's Steve Prohm has lost four games in a row for the first time in his seven seasons as a head coach.

If the Cyclones keep improving like they have over the last two weeks, it might be the last time Prohm goes through this kind of misery for a while.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Northern Iowa had depth, experience and the more impressive resume.

Iowa State had freshman Lindell Wigginton — who proved once again how much of an impact player he has become.

Wigginton scored 15 of his 20 points in the second half and Iowa State blew past Northern Iowa 76-65 on Saturday for its eighth straight win.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — From the moment freshman Lindell Wigginton signed with Iowa State, coach Steve Prohm has tried to manage expectations for the five-star recruit.

Wigginton's recent play has made it impossible for Prohm to keep him a secret much longer.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — The Cyclones might remember Sunday's game as the "Hawkeye Hangover"

Iowa State survived anyway, pushing its winning streak to seven games ahead of a key matchup against Northern Iowa.

Donovan Jackson scored 25 points, including a career-high seven 3s, Cameron Lard had 15 points with 11 rebounds and Iowa State held off lowly Alcorn State 78-58.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — If Iowa State freshman Lindell Wigginton's Cy-Hawk debut was any indication, Iowa might its hands full with the Cyclones' newest star for years to come.

Wigginton scored 24 points, becoming the first Cyclones freshman with at least 20 in three straight games since Marcus Fizer, and Iowa State held off rival Iowa 84-78 on Thursday night.

Nick Weiler-Babb had 15 points and 10 assists for the Cyclones (6-2), who've won six in a row after a 0-2 start.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Freshman Lindell Wigginton might already be Iowa State's most talented player.

Whether that's a good or bad thing will be determined in the weeks to come. But Wigginton's rapidly-emerging game proved crucial on Monday night for a team needing to overcome yet another sluggish start.

Wigginton poured in a season-high 28 points and Iowa State rallied to beat Northern Illinois 94-80 for its fifth straight win.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — As Iowa State coach Steve Prohm watched a practice this summer with Monte Morris, the fabulous point guard he had to replace this season, he seemed to have only two options.

Prohm could either go with senior Donovan Jackson or hand control of the offense to highly-touted freshman Lindell Wigginton, so Jackson could focus on scoring.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State is going to need its freshmen to play older than they are this season.

The Cyclones' newcomers more than came through on Saturday night, keying a blowout that gave them their first win at Hilton Coliseum.

Freshman Lindell Wigginton scored a career-high 21 points and Iowa State cruised past Western Illinois 70-45 for its fourth consecutive win.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa State lost the best point guard in school history to graduation in Monte Morris.

The Cyclones compensated by signing freshman Lindell Wigginton, one of the biggest recruits in program history.
