Milan Momcilovic - Sparks Cyclones with 17 points Momcilovic had 17 points (5-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 3-4 FT) and three assists in 34 minutes during Saturday's 84-67 win over Arizona.
Impact Momcilovic connected on 4-of-7 from downtown en route to a team-leading 17 points, the most he's recorded in the seven games since returning from an extended mid-season absence due to a left hand injury. The sophomore forward added three assists while reaching double-figures in the scoring column for the sixth time during those seven contests.

Tamin Lipsey - Playmaking skills on full display Lipsey ended Saturday's 84-67 victory over Arizona with 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 34 minutes.
Impact Lipsey recorded one of his better performances of the season, posting 15 points on an efficient 4-for-6 from the floor including drilling 2-of-3 from deep. The junior point guard added two boards and a couple of steals while dishing out eight dimes against just one turnover. The return of Keshon Gilbert to the lineup after missing a few games helped open things up for Lipsey and the Cyclones, who are returning to full health just in time for the postseason. Lipsey was a key cog for the club last season but has seen a dip in his numbers all the way around this season as players like Curtis Jones and Joshua Jefferson are enjoying career seasons. Iowa State has the depth to make a deep run in the postseason but an effective Tamin Lipsey is the most important cog in the Cyclones' hopes of making a trip to the Final Four for the first time in more than 80 years.

KJ Lewis - Key role off bench Lewis chipped in 13 points (3-9 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 7-8 FT), six rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal across 26 minutes before fouling out of Saturday's 84-67 loss to Iowa Stat...
Impact Lewis continues to excel as a two-way player coming off the bench, contributing 13 points, six boards, a couple of blocks and a steal during Saturday's loss to Iowa State. The slashing sophomore wing has struggled from the outside this season, shooting just 17.0-percent from deep after shooting 34.1-percent last season. However, he is still averaging double-digits for the Wildcats this season, contributing 10.4 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.8 blocks across 25.9 minutes while playing a bench role during 23 of 29 games this season.

Keshon Gilbert - 23 minutes in return Gilbert ended Saturday's 84-67 victory over Arizona with six points (2-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt), three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 23 minutes.
Impact Gilbert was back in the starting lineup after a two-game absence, but he saw his second-lowest minutes total of the season, understandably resulting in points, rebounds and assists below his season averages. The good news is that the Cyclones were able to snap a two-game skid with a quality win, and Gilbert should be healthy with two games remaining in the regular season.
