Men’s Basketball: Iowa State defeats Buffalo, 84-63

At times, it was a struggle, but in the end it was a won.

The fourth-ranked Iowa State men’s basketball team fought through a mostly lackluster performance to defeat Buffalo, XX, on Monday night at Hilton Coliseum.

The Cyclones (7-0) struggled to find a rhythm throughout most of the night outside of a 15-0 run that lasted just over 2 minutes midway through the second half. Other than that, it was mostly a grind-it-out affair for ISU until the Cyclones were able to pull away for good in the game’s final minutes.

Geroges Niang scored a career-high 31 points while also tying a career high with 12 rebounds.
