Iowa State holds off TCU 84-71

Naz Mitrou-Long had 15 of his 25 points in the first half and Iowa State beat TCU 84-71 Saturday to move into a three-way tie for second in the Big 12. Monte Morris added 18 with 11 assists for the Cyclones , who joined Baylor and West Virginia in second – three games behind Kansas. Iowa State has done so in part by winning its last two at home by 28 combined points after letting its Big 12 opponents hang around even in wins in Ames.
