AMES, Iowa (AP) — Curtis Jones scored 24 points and Milan Momcilovic returned from injury to add 14 as No. 8 Iowa State ended a three-game losing streak with an 82-52 win over TCU on Saturday.
Dishon Jackson also scored 14 points, and Joshua Jefferson had a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds.
Momcilovic had not played since Jan. 11, when the Cyclones (18-5, 8-4 Big 12) defeated Texas Tech in overtime. He suffered an injury to his non-shooting hand in practice before a game against Kansas on Jan. 15.
Trazarie White and Vasean Allette scored nine points each for the Horned Frogs (12-11, 5-7).
TCU: The Horned Frogs struggled to get much going offensively, as they went on to shoot 37.3% from the field and 14.3% from 3-point range.
Iowa State: The Cyclones found the majority of their success from the paint, as 44 of their 82 points came from inside the lane.
Jones, who had struggled with his 3-point shot the previous three games, hit three consecutive shots from deep late in the first half to fuel the Cyclones' offensive outburst.
Iowa State's Nate Heise, who has been a bench player this season after having been a starter earlier in his career, scored four points to go over 1,000 for his career.
Iowa State visits UCF Tuesday night. TCU hosts Oklahoma State on Wednesday.
