Box Score Tamin Lipsey's 14 points led a balanced Iowa State attack in the Cyclones' 71-64 victory over West Virginia Saturday afternoon in Hilton Coliseum in Ames, Iowa.
 
The sixth-ranked Cyclones, one game behind Houston in the Big 12 standings, got at least 6 points from eight different players and all but one player got into the scoring column.
 
Guard Curtis Jones was the only other Iowa State player to reach double digits with 12.
 
ISU led for more than half of a game that saw just three lead changes and three ties. West Virginia's last lead was 51-50 with 9:05 left in the game on Kobe Johnson's 3 before Tre King answered with a jumper and Robert Jones followed with two free throws.
 
Another Jones jumper in the paint after Jesse Edwards was called for traveling made it a five-point advantage.
 
Iowa State's biggest lead of the game was 13 with 3:27 to go off King's fastbreak layup.
 
West Virginia (9-18, 4-10) turned the ball over 23 times resulting in 29 Iowa State points and the Cyclones' bench outscored West Virginia's 27 to 10, which were the differences in the game.
 
The Mountaineers got 12 each from Johnson and Kerr Kriisa, Quinn Slazinski scored 11 and Edwards finished with 10 points and eight rebounds. West Virginia made 10-of-24 from behind the 3-point arc and used that outside shooting to jump out to an early 11-2 lead.
