Iowa State found a fitting end for the careers of seven seniors at Hilton Coliseum on Tuesday night. The Cyclones defeated Oklahoma State 86-83 to win their sixth-straight game and move into sole possession of second place in the Big 12.

The seniors led the charge for the Cyclones. Here’s the story from the game.

Here are three additional takeaways.

Monte Morris almost reaches a triple-double

Monte Morris just keeps on humming along.

The star point guard continued his quest for the Bob Cousy Award, given to the nation’s best point guard, with a stellar performance Tuesday. He put up 12 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds along with two blocks and just one turnover. He played all 40 minutes of the game.

His career assist-to-turnover ratio, which sits above 4.0, is already set to shatter the NCAA record. He also added two steals in the game, which put him over the top to become the program’s all-time steals leader, passing Jeff Hornacek.

“It means everything, honestly,” Morris said about the record. “It’s always a great feeling be all-time in anything. I’m just happy and fortunate that I was able to make that play tonight. And I wasn’t really, I knew I was one steal away, but I was just giving it my all for my teammates.”

Morris also forced a crucial turnover at the end of the game that sealed a victory for the Cyclones. With just over eight seconds to go, Morris knocked an inbounds pass off an Oklahoma State player to take back possession. It was enough to keep the Cowboys at bay and win the game.

“It was just instinct, honestly,” Morris said. “I’ve seen Deonte [Burton] do it a lot, so I just tried to get into this book and do it.”

Matt Thomas not fazed by Senior Night

Senior Night certainly treated senior guard Matt Thomas well.

After going 0-for-2 against Baylor on Saturday, Thomas came out firing Tuesday. He made his first four shots and finished the night with a team-high 25 points on 8-of-13 shooting.

“Today was definitely emotional,” Thomas said. “Seeing all the stuff on social media from friends and fans talking to them. It was definitely emotional, but once I got onto the court, I just kind of locked in and it wasn’t hard to stay focused.”

Thomas has been dealing with bone spurs in his foot all season, which has limited his ability. But a Thomas hot streak could bode well for the Cyclones as they enter March.

Seniors give speeches after the game

The trio of seniors — Naz Mitrou-Long, Thomas and Morris — will go down as one of the best in Iowa State history. All three played at Iowa State for four or more years and led the team to two Big 12 Tournament Championships and two Sweet Sixteens.

Burton has been a big part of that success, too, over the past two seasons.

Tuesday night was their final game at Hilton Coliseum, and all of them took their turn at the mic to address the sold-out Hilton Coliseum crowd after the game. 

Morris’ speech was the longest, as he gave praise to his family, coaching staff and teammates. Burton’s was the expectedly the shortest. 

Thomas and Mitrou-Long’s speeches were heartfelt and emotional. At the end of Mitrou-Long’s, he kissed the Iowa State logo in the center of the court, a fitting goodbye after five seasons in Ames.

“I love you Cyclone Nation,” Mitrou-Long said at the end of his speech. “I will never forget you. And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for everything you’ve done. And I will never, ever forget this place.”
