Xzavion Mitchell - Doesn't play Saturday Mitchell (undisclosed) didn't play Saturday against Oklahoma State.

Impact Mitchell was probable to play against the Cowboys, but in the end, he didn't suit up. The freshman has been limited to seven appearances off the bench this season, so his fantasy upside isn't very high even when he's available. His next chance to suit up will come against Kansas on Tuesday.

2026 Men's NCAA Tournament Projections: Big Ten, Michigan on Top in New Bracket

Xzavion Mitchell - Probable vs. Oklahoma State Mitchell (undisclosed) is considered probable for Iowa State's tilt with Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Impact Mitchell missed three straight games for the Cyclones, but he should return come Saturday. The freshman forward averages just 2.9 minutes, however -- his return shouldn't mean much for Iowa State.

Eric Mulder - Available Saturday Mulder (undisclosed) is good to go for Iowa State's tilt with Oklahoma State on Saturday.

Impact Mulder has missed three straight games, but he'll be available for the Cyclones on Saturday. The senior forward averages 1.1 points and 2.0 rebounds off the bench this season.

No. 3 Iowa State sets school record with 15-0 start after 70-60 win over Baylor

Joshua Jefferson had 19 points and 17 rebounds as third-ranked Iowa State won its 15th consecutive game to start the season, beating Baylor 70-60

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Tamin Lipsey - Tallies an efficient 24 points Lipsey contributed 24 points (8-12 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), three rebounds, two assists and one steal across 27 minutes during Wednesday's 70-60 victory over Baylor.

Impact Lipsey had his most efficient offensive performance of the season, connecting on 8-of-12 from the field and 2-of-3 from beyond the arc to lead the way with 24 points. It was the third time this season Lipsey topped 20 points, making up for his season-low assist total. The senior point man has been excelling as a ball distributor in his previous six games since returning from a three-game absence due to a groin injury, dishing out 6.5 dimes per game during that six-game stretch while averaging a pedestrian 10.3 points. However, Lipsey reminded us Wednesday that he's still a more-than-capable scorer when needed.

Joshua Jefferson - Monster double double Jefferson amassed 19 points (7-17 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 4-8 FT), 17 rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals in 38 minutes during Wednesday's 70-60 victory over Baylor.

Impact Jefferson had a monstrous performance to help Iowa State maintain their status amongst the unbeatens, hauling down a career-best 17 rebounds while adding 19 points for his sixth double double. The rebounding total was seven clear of his previous season high and four clear of his previous career high, which he set last season. Jefferson also filled out the rest of the stat sheet with three assists, three steals and a block, the fifth time in six games he's tallied multiple steals and a block in the same game. Jefferson did match a season high with six turnovers, giving him seven straight games with multiple in that category, but considering he's reached double figures in scoring in every game to go along with five games with at least 10 boards and three with at least 10 dimes, Iowa State and fantasy managers alike are more than pleased with Jefferson's performance this season.

Xzavion Mitchell - Game-time call Wednesday Mitchell (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Iowa State on Wednesday.

Impact Mitchell has played sparingly in his true freshman season, averaging just 2.9 minutes. Thus, his availability doesn't mean much for the Cyclones.

Eric Mulder - Game-time call vs. Baylor Mulder (undisclosed) is a game-time decision for Iowa State's clash with Baylor.

Impact Mulder has missed the last two games for Iowa State, but he allegedly has a shot to return Wednesday. The bench forward averages just 1.1 points and 2.0 rebounds.

Joshua Jefferson - Posts first career triple double Jefferson registered 10 points (2-6 FG, 0-3 3Pt, 6-7 FT), 10 rebounds, 10 assists, two blocks and three steals over 34 minutes during Friday's 80-59 win over West Virginia.

Impact Jefferson's limited production from the field did not impact his all-around effort as he recorded the first triple double of his career despite the season-low scoring total. The senior forward also contributed defensively with three steals and two blocks to help lead the undefeated Cyclones during their initial conference tilt of the season. It was the fourth time in 14 games Jefferson crashed the glass for 10 boards and the third time he's dished out 10 assists.

JANUARY 2 • ROTOWIRE

Milan Momcilovic - Scorching hot from long range Momcilovic posted 26 points (9-13 FG, 8-10 3Pt), three rebounds, one assist and one steal across 34 minutes during Friday's 80-59 victory over West Virginia.

Impact Momcilovic couldn't be stopped, matching a season high by connecting on eight triples en route to tallying a team-high 26 points. The junior sharpshooter remains scorching hot for the unbeaten Cyclones. It was the sixth time he's connected on at least five shots from downtown and the seventh time he's poured in at least 20. For the season, Momcilovic is averaging 18.5 points while connecting on 4.1 threes per game at a 56.3-percent clip.
