Simon Fraser (0-4) never got closer than seven points in the second half. The Clan trailed 44-37 less than four minutes into the half before Iowa State put together a 11-4 run to open up a 55-41 lead with 13:12 remaining. The Cyclones led 64-50 with 7:50 left and used a 9-2 spurt to take a commanding 73-52 lead with just more than three minutes to play.
