Jefferson, Lipsey Star In 96-57 Cyclone Win Over Stonehill
11.17.2025 | Men's Basketball
AMES, Iowa – Seniors Tamin Lipsey and Joshua Jefferson led the way in 16th-ranked Iowa State's (4-0) 96-57 victory over Stonehill (1-5) Monday night in Hilton Coliseum.
The duo was a combined 17-of-27 from the field, and each scored 23 points, as the Cyclones shot a season-high 59.3 percent from the floor, including a blistering 64.3 percent clip in the second half.
Jefferson also had team highs in rebounds (9) and steals (4), and Lipsey dished out four assists, moving him to No. 8 on ISU's career assist list with 450.
Jefferson's four steals aided the Cyclones to 14 thefts, the fourth 10+-steal effort of the season. Â
Milan Momcilovic scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half to help the Cyclones remain unbeaten. Â
How it Happened
Stonehill turned the ball over on seven of its first eight possessions as the Cyclones jumped out to a 9-0 lead. Despite their troubles taking care of the ball, Stonehill only trailed 25-18 with under eight minutes left in the opening period thanks to 4-of-5 shooting beyond the arc.
Iowa State finished the half on a 10-2 run to go into the break with a 42-27 lead. Jefferson and Lipsey each had 13 points at the half to pace the Cyclones. Despite 13 first-half turnovers by the Skyhawks, they were able to stay in the game with six 3-pointers while the Cyclones were 0-of-7 from long range.
Iowa State began the second half with a 16-5 run to take a commanding 58-32 lead. The Cyclones finally opened the lid from deep with four 3-pointers in their first four field goals of the second period. Killyan Toure, Jefferson, Lipsey and Momcilovic each buried a trey.
By the seven-minute mark, the Cyclones were on top 79-44 and never looked back. The Cyclones have held at least a 25-point lead in all four games this season.
