Senior guards Jamaal Tinsley and Kantrail Horton made history last Saturday, closing out their respective two-year careers at Iowa State with an 86-73 win over Nebraska. The win solidified the backcourt duo as two of the winningest players in school history and, quite possibly, the best backcourt in the brief history of the Big 12 Conference, with more yet to come.While Saturday’s win marked the 36th consecutive and final home win for both players, it also capped off an unblemished two-year run at home that saw the pair record a 36-0 record at Hilton Coliseum.”I’m really happy with what I accomplished here,” Tinsley said. “Not losing here, good teammates, good coaches — is just something I’m going to miss.””It feels great just to accomplish that,” Horton said. “Many people playing Division I basketball can’t say that. In our situation, coming from junior college, they can’t say that. And it’s just a great feeling.””It’s unbelievable [going undefeated at home],” guard Jake Sullivan said. “It’d be a dream if I could do it for two [years], I can’t even imagine because it was a struggle at times this year just to do it. It’s a great accomplishment and kind of hats off to them. They’re just great players and that’s why they just take games over.” Throughout the season, Tinsley and Horton have carried the team offensively. In conference play, they accounted for over 35 percent of the team’s scoring and more than 73 percent of the team’s assists [163 of 223].Iowa State is now 55-9 when the duo has been in the starting backcourt, including a 30-5 record in the Big 12. Both were also Big 12 Player of the Week selections during the conference regular season this year [Horton, Jan. 8; Tinsley, Jan. 22].Add to their list of accomplishments a second straight Big 12 regular season title and you begin talking about two of the most productive players in school history.Following Saturday’s game, Tinsley again moved up in the ISU record books. While his five steals moved him into fifth place all-time at Iowa State with 170, he now sits behind four-year letter-winners Jeff Grayer [199], Fred Hoiberg [207], Justus Thigpen [210] and Jeff Hornacek [211] for the all-time record.Tinsley’s two blocks in Saturday’s game tied him for 12th place all-time at Iowa State in blocks. He now has 54 blocks in his two years at Iowa State and could move into the top 10 before it’s all over. Amazingly, Tinsley, a point guard, has more blocks than either forwards Paul Shirley or Martin Rancik have in their four-year careers here.Horton has also left his mark in the record books as only the sixth player in school history to have made more than 100 three-pointers.”I don’t know if it’s anything they tried to drill into my head, it’s just the toughness of them,” Sullivan said. “They just showed me by example and I kind of followed them. They showed me there’s all kind of little behind the scenes stuff that really makes them great players.”Tinsley and Horton will get one last chance to show the rest of the Big 12 just how great they are when they play in their final Big 12 Conference Tournament this weekend. The team that was picked to finish fourth in the conference will now follow its two senior leaders to Kansas City in attempt to prove everyone else wrong for a second straight year.
