Kansas Overwhelms Iowa State in Big 12 Clash, 69-52

The Jayhawks' stifling defense and balanced scoring handed the Cyclones their third straight loss in a pivotal conference matchup.

Kansas, ranked No. 16, dominated No. 8 Iowa State with a 69-52 victory, fueled by Zeke Mayo's 17 points and Hunter Dickinson's 14 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks.
The Jayhawks' defense held Iowa State to 30.6% shooting from the field and a dismal 14.3% from beyond the arc, marking the Cyclones' worst offensive half of the season.
Kansas rebounded from a historic loss to Baylor by showcasing hustle plays and efficient teamwork, highlighted by a dramatic first-half alley-oop dunk by KJ Adams.
Iowa State, missing key forward Milan Momcilovic due to injury, struggled offensively, with leading scorer Curtis Jones limited to seven points on 3-for-11 shooting.
Both teams now sit at 7-4 in the Big 12 standings, with Kansas maintaining a strong home-court advantage at Allen Fieldhouse.
