Jefferson Named Cyclone Club Athlete of the Week

AMES, Iowa - Iowa State men's basketball's Joshua Jefferson has been named Cyclone Club Athlete of the Week after helping the Cyclones to a 2-0 week, including an 89-80 victory at in-state rival Iowa.

Jefferson nearly averaged a double-double for a second-straight week, averaging 16.0 points and 9.0 rebounds per game against the Hawkeyes and Omaha. He had a 10:1 assist-to-turnover ratio on the week.

The junior forward flirted with a triple-double against Iowa, finishing with 19 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. He became the first Big 12 player to ever record that stat line with zero turnovers (Kansas' Hunter Dickinson became the second later in the week).

Against Omaha, Jefferson fell just short of a double-double with 13 points and eight rebounds.

No. 3 Iowa State plays again at home next Sunday (Dec. 22) in its final non-conference game playing host to Morgan state. Tipoff is set for Noon on ESPN+.
