Tamin Lipsey - Scores 17, adds five steals Lipsey registered 17 points (5-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 6-6 FT), two rebounds, three assists and five steals over 29 minutes during Monday's 87-52 victory over IU Indianapolis.
Impact Lipsey contributed season-high totals with 17 points and five steals. Through three games, the Cyclones have yet to play in a competitive game which has limited Lipsey's time on the floor. However, while his assist and rebounding totals have taken a slight dip thus far, Lipsey's improved his efficiency from the floor, shooting 52.2 percent this season on 7.7 attempts per contest after posting a 42.8 mark on 10.0 shots per game during last year's breakout. He's currently contributing 13.7 points, 2.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 3.0 steals and 0.7 blocks across 27.7 minutes per contest.

Joshua Jefferson - Double-double on perfect night Jefferson notched 16 points (7-7 FG, 2-2 FT), 10 rebounds, four assists and one steal across 26 minutes during Monday's 87-52 victory over IU Indianapolis.
Impact Jefferson was perfect from the floor and from the line in posting 16 points and 10 rebounds for his first double-double of the season. The junior posted four such outings last year with St. Mary's and was brought in to provide a meaningful inside presence to the guard-laden Cyclones. So far so good on that front as Jefferson has posted 10.7 points and 6.7 rebounds across 23 minutes per game thus far this season.

Curtis Jones scores 20 points, Milan Momcilovic adds 16 in No. 7 Iowa State's 82-56 rout over Roos
Curtis Jones came off the bench to score 20 points and Milan Momcilovic added 16 to lead No. 7 Iowa State in an 82-56 rout over Kansas CityNOVEMBER 12 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Milan Momcilovic - Drains four threes Momcilovic finished with 16 points (6-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, one block and one steal across 30 minutes during Monday's 82-56 victory over Kansas City.
Impact Momcilovic returned to the starting lineup and picked up where he left off last season, draining four triples in seven attempts on his way to 16 points across 30 minutes on the floor. The sophomore forward averaged 10.9 points and 3.1 rebounds last season while starting all 37 games, but unexpectedly came off the bench in game one this season. Provided he continues to start, Momcilovic can reasonably be expected to see a spike in his production this season with his main contributions coming as the Cyclones' primary sniper from beyond the arc along with a smattering of production off the glass.

Keshon Gilbert - Dishes out 10 assists Gilbert notched nine points (3-9 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 2-4 FT), three rebounds, 10 assists and one steal in 30 minutes during Monday's 82-56 win over Kansas City.
Impact Gilbert shot just 33% from the field but dished out 10 assists during Monday's romp. It was the second career game in which he's contributed 10 or more assists. Gilbert led the Cyclones last season with 13.7 points per game and is a solid contributor across the board, having also posted 4.4 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.0 steals last season.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Dishon Jackson - Providing inside presence Jackson supplied 13 points (5-7 FG, 3-4 FT), six rebounds, one assist and one block in 19 minutes during Monday's 82-56 win over Kansas City.
Impact Jackson started his second-consecutive game, seeing 19 minutes on the floor while contributing 13 points and six boards. The senior transfer from Charlotte was brought to provide an inside presence to compliment Iowa State's strong guard play. His minutes have been limited to under 20 through two generally uncompetitive games but don't be surprised if he sees minutes in the 25-30 range once the schedule begins to strengthen.
NOVEMBER 11 • ROTOWIRE
Curtis Jones - Thrives in bench role Jones registered 20 points (7-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, five assists and one steal over 29 minutes during Monday's 82-56 victory over Kansas City.
Impact Jones was moved to the bench in favor of Milan Momcilovic, then proceeded to lead the team with 20 points over 29 minutes while also contributing five boards and five assists. Jones thrived as the sixth man last year for the Cyclones and looked much more comfortable Monday after posting just five points on 2-for-7 shooting in a starting role during their first game. Whether starting or coming off the bench, Jones will be playing a significant role for Iowa State this season as they like to match up the senior guard with Keshon Gilbert and Tamin Lipsey to deploy one of the most dynamic three-guard tandems in the country.

Milan Momcilovic - Starting Monday Momcilovic is listed amongst Iowa State's starting five ahead of Monday's game against UM-Kansas City.
Impact Momcilovic will make his first start of the season after inexplicably coming off the bench in the Cyclones opener. The 6-foot-8 sophomore started in all 37 games last season, averaging 10.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.2 assists and 0.5 steals on 30.2 minutes per game last season.

Impact Gilbert paced Iowa State in scoring as the Cyclones cruised to an easy victory. On top of his solid offensive production, Gilbert, one of the top returning players in the Big 12 conference, continues to shine on the defensive end, adding three steals after having accomplished that feat 14 times last season.

Kayden Fish - Active in opener Fish (shoulder) logged one point (1-2 FT) across three minutes during Monday's 83-44 win over Mississippi Valley State.
Impact Fish saw three minutes of action in Iowa State's season-opening win over Mississippi Valley State. The 6-foot-6 freshman is unlikely to see a large role with the Cyclones this season.

Tamin Lipsey - Sets tone on both ends of floor Lipsey notched 16 points (5-7 FG, 1-2 3Pt, 5-5 FT), one rebound, four assists, two blocks and three steals across 26 minutes during Monday's 83-44 victory over Mississippi Valley S...
Impact Lipsey entered this season as one of the top all-around guards in the country and fulfilled that promise on opening night, contributing solid numbers on both ends of the floor. The junior added a career-high two blocks to his traditional three steals while showing improved efficiency from the floor, scoring 16 points on seven shots after shooting just 42.8% last season. Lipsey was listed as a preseason honorable mention All-American candidate and a small leap in his scoring production this season would portend to big things for the Cyclones, who have their eyes set on a Big 12 title and are one of the favorites to make a trip to the Final Four.
