Fouls mounted, and Colorado went on a 9-0 run.
Pleta entered the game for Blake Buchanan with 9:24 remaining in the first half and contributed a pair of baskets. Following another 3-point basket by Momcilovic, Pleta added a trio of points to his total with a successful and-1.

The first five points of the second half for Iowa State belonged to Toure. Jefferson, who scored seven points, pulled down three rebounds and dished out one assist in the first half, started to put his mark in the game as he assisted on a Momcilovic 3-point basket and made four free throws in a row to put Iowa State up 64-37.
A balanced offensive attack over the final 15 minutes – five for Batemon, five for Toure, five for Lipsey, five for Pleta, four for Heise, three for Momcilovic, two for Jefferson, two for Anthony Rise and one for Cade Kelderman proved that on any given night, any Cyclone can score.
Iowa State shot 61.4 percent from the field and 47.6 percent from beyond the arc.
