Iowa State Cyclones News

Blake Buchanan - Contributes more offensively Buchanan accumulated 11 points (4-6 FG, 3-5 FT), six rebounds and one steal over 19 minutes during Tuesday's 87-57 win over UCF.

Impact Buchanan averaged just 6.0 ppg through the first five games of Big 12 play, but he was able to offer a slight boost offensively here to help the Cyclones snap a two-game losing streak and do so in blowout fashion. The Virginia transfer may not be the offensive focal point, but he's started all 19 games at center for Iowa State and is second on the team with a career-best 6.1 rpg. He's also averaging career-best marks in scoring (8.9 ppg) and shooting percentage (66.4).

The junior marksman had an otherwise empty stat line, adding just one board to his first career 30-point effort. Momcilovic is averaging 18.1 points per game and is the most efficient three-point shooter in the nation, averaging 3.9 threes per game at a 54.2-percent clip.
