Jamaal Tinsley matched his career high in points Saturday afternoon at Hilton Coliseum and managed to lead the Cyclones to their 32nd consecutive home win in the process. Tinsley scored 26 points, including 21 in the second half, as Iowa State put away upstart Kansas State 84-78.”It wasn’t about me taking over in the second half,” Tinsley said. “It was about me passing the ball in the first half, then being more aggressive with the ball in the second half.”Tinsley led a parade to the free throw line, shooting 11-14 from the stripe, in a game that saw Iowa State knock down 30-42 free throws compared to KSU’s 11-12 effort. Flu-ridden Shane Power made 1-2 free throws with 12.5 seconds remaining in the game to put Iowa State up 83-78 and preserve the victory.”I don’t know who got the best shake of the officiating,” ISU head coach Larry Eustachy said. “Our offense is much more geared to getting fouled, I think there’s a reason for [Iowa State’s 42 free throw attempts]. Should it be that large? I don’t know, but I like the foul difference.”Martin Rancik continued his impressive post play by scoring 18 points, Kantrail Horton added 12 points and Paul Shirley chipped in 10 points and six rebounds.Kansas State point guard Larry Reid led all players with a sensational 30-point effort and single-handedly kept his Wildcats in the game all afternoon. Reid knocked down tough shot after tough shot and made 7-9 three point attempts.”He kept answering,” Eustachy said. “He’s a great player. We were on him a lot — he just made shots.”Kansas State became only the third team to shoot over 50 percent from the field against Iowa State and only the fourth team this season to out-shoot Iowa State from the floor. The Wildcats shot 55.6 percent for the game and torched the Hilton Coliseum nets in the second half with their 54.4 percent shooting performance.”We were lucky [to win],” Rancik said. “We didn’t play good defense, especially me.””They really backscreen and do some great things out of that offense, they’ve really got it down,” Eustachy said. “It’s the best run offense I’ve played against since I’ve coached here.”Saturday’s win was Iowa State’s sixth consecutive conference win, a feat that has only been accomplished at Iowa State four other times in school history. The win also propelled the Cyclones to 15th in the AP rankings and moved them within a half game of first place Kansas.Iowa State squares off with the Jayhawks at 8 tonight in a nationally televised game that is part of ESPN’s “Big Monday.” The game is for first place and comes at the end of an exhausting slate of games for the Cyclones. Nonetheless, Eustachy said he does not feel his team will need any added motivation for Monday’s showdown.”I don’t think we need any motivational speech for Monday’s game, if we do we’re in for a whole lot of trouble.”
