Iowa State learned it would face Missouri without it’s star Lindell Wigginton before the game on Friday, and the Cyclones came out ready. The defensive effort carried Iowa State to a 76-59 victory over Missouri.
Iowa State forced Missouri into 15 first half turnovers that kept them in the game while they got their feet under them offensively. Iowa State shot 28% from the field early on in the game and was getting pretty much every look they wanted, but couldn’t convert. Missouri was clinging on to an advantage early on. Marial Skayok would sit most of the first half with three fouls forcing Steve Prohm to use most of the freshman together.
