Aljaz Kunc - Explodes in winning effort Kunc recorded 22 points (7-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 3-3 FT), five rebounds, one block and two steals over 31 minutes during Wednesday's 70-59 victory over TCU.

Impact Kunc logged a new season high for points during his first game back in the starting lineup since mid-December. The 6-foot-8 senior averaged 8.5 points and 5.9 rebounds while starting the first 11 games of the season. He then missed 10 games in a row with a finger injury before coming off the bench for three contests. Kunc has now scored three, 13 and 22 points while playing 22, 23 and 31 minutes during the last three games, respectively. This steady increase in playing time and production should give Kunc a solid base to build off of over the Cyclones' final five regular-season games.
