TCU Horned Frogs at Iowa State Cyclones
· NCAA Men's Basketball
59 - 65
Solomon Young scores 20 points, Iowa State beats TCU 65-59
“I had the mask off,” the 6-1 freshman joked.
Jackson drilled four 3-pointers in the first half as Iowa State (12-16, 5-10 Big 12 Conference) built a 41-25 lead, then calmly sank two key free throws in the final 20 seconds to help seal the win.
“Tre's ability to make shots, that's a game changer, and Tre made those big 3s,” Cyclones coach Steve Prohm said.
Solomon Young scored 20 points to lead Iowa State, which made a concerted effort early in the game to pound the ball into the paint.
“I just tried to stay active," the 6-8 junior forward said. “Tried to get in position, get angles and score when I got the ball and make good decisions.”
Desmond Bane scored 15 of his team-high 20 points in the second half to lead the Horned Frogs (15-13, 6-9), who took a 55-53 lead with 5:18 left on a pair of P.J. Fuller free throws.
TCU played without starting point guard and second-leading scorer RJ Nembhard, who suffered an injury during warm-ups.
“It's a blow," said Horned Frogs coach Jamie Dixon, whose team scored four points in the final five minutes. "He’s an experienced guy. I felt we came out and played with some fight. We just didn't get it done to the level we need to.”
“Just being confident and just letting it fly,” Jackson said of his first double-digit scoring effort since notching 12 points in a Jan. 11 win over Oklahoma. “I know I can shoot the ball, just got to be confident. That's it.”
BIG PICTURE
TCU: The Horned Frogs were outscored in the paint (28-18) for the eighth time in the past 12 games and fell to 0-8 on the road in Big 12 play. TCU shot just 33% (9 of 27) in the first half, but turned the tables on Iowa State in the second half, limiting the Cyclones to 33% shooting during its comeback effort.
