LAWRENCE, Kan.
Cheap
Vernon Hargreaves Jersey . -- Just minutes after Andrew Wiggins put No. 6
Kansas on his back, scoring six of his career-high 29 points in the defining
moment of the game, Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg offered a glowing assessment
of the star freshman. "You can tell hes oozing with confidence," Hoiberg said
Wednesday night after his 16th-ranked Cyclones lost 92-81, "and thats scary."
The nations No. 1 recruit, Wiggins has finally started to live up to his hype.
He matched his 27-point performance in a win over TCU last weekend with a dunk
that gave Kansas an 81-72 lead with just under 3 minutes remaining, and then
added a couple free throws for his career high. The freshman hit four 3-pointers
and finished 10 of 16 from the field. "Im just starting to feel more
comfortable," Wiggins said. It helped that he didnt have to carry the load
himself. Perry Ellis added 20 points, Joel Embiid had 14 points and 11 rebounds,
and Naadir Tharpe finished with 12 points and 12 assists for the Jayhawks (16-4,
7-0 Big 12), who won their seventh straight game. Wayne Selden had 11 points and
five assists. "Im not surprised at all because we got prepared to play these
games," Tharpe said. "It was a matter of time until everyone just went out there
and started to play." Georges Niang led the Cyclones (15-4, 3-4) with 24 points.
DeAndre Kane added 22 points and Melvin Ejim, battling foul trouble much of the
game, finished with 18 points and eight rebounds. Iowa State started the season
with 14 straight wins, but has now dropped four of its last five. That includes
a 77-70 loss to the Jayhawks earlier this month in Ames. "If theyre hitting
shots like that," Hoiberg said of the Jayhawks, "thats going to be a tough,
tough team to beat." The Jayhawks held on despite a shortened bench. Forward
Tarik Black missed his second game with an ankle injury while guard Conner
Frankamp did not suit up because of a knee injury. It didnt seem to matter early
in the game. The Jayhawks roared to a 30-14 lead in the opening minutes,
dominating on the offensive glass and taking advantage of rapidly retreating
Cyclones on the defensive boards. Just as quickly, though, Iowa State whittled
into the lead. The comeback began with a jam off an alley-oop pass by Ejim, and
picked up momentum when the Cyclones hit 3-pointers on four straight trips down
court. By the time Monte Morris finished off the run, done mostly while Wiggins
sat on the bench, the lead had been trimmed to 37-34. "Ive been in this building
enough as a player, as a coach, a scout, and it happens pretty much every game,
they come out and hit shots early and you have to withstand it, you have to
withstand the runs," Hoiberg said. "I give our guys credit for clawing back in
the game." The Cyclones pulled even for the first time when Kane buried a
3-pointer out of halftime, but the Jayhawks responded with 11 straight points to
regain control. Wiggins did most of the work, hitting a long jumper and a
scooping layup while also getting to the free throw line. By that point, a
packed crowd that included Kansas City Royals Billy Butler and Jeremy Guthrie
and Grammy nominated musician Trey Songz was on its feet. Iowa State made one
more charge. Ejim scored to draw within 73-69 and force Kansas coach Bill Self
to call a timeout, and Niang drained a 3-pointer moments later to make it a
one-point game. Embiid responded with a thunderous dunk, and after Kane turned
it over at the other end, the Cyclones intentionally fouled Wiggins on a fast
break. He made both free throws, and then added a putback off Embiids miss to
make it a four-point trip. "That was a pretty big call," Niang said of the
intentional foul. "Not saying it was a bad call or anything, but thats where
they took off." Wiggins added a run-out dunk after another turnover to give the
Jayhawks an 81-72 lead, and the defending Big 12 champions coasted the rest of
the way to its 18th win in 19 meetings with Iowa State. "We gave ourselves a
chance," Hoiberg said, "and at the end of the day, we gave ourselves an
opportunity in as tough an environment as were going to play in."
