Iowa State won for the third straight time in Gallagher-Iba Arena on Saturday and did so without the services of Jameel McKay, who was suspended for the contest and did not make the trip to Stillwater. The Cowboys were also down a starter as freshman star, Jawun Evans, sat out the game with a shoulder injury, but it was a solid road win nonetheless for the Cyclones.
The fact that Iowa State was able to grind out a win on the road less than 24 hours after it became public that McKay wouldn't be on the trip speaks to the resiliency of this team, especially coming off a frustrating home loss to West Virginia earlier in the week.
