Playmaking skills on full display Lipsey ended Saturday's 84-67 victory over Arizona with 15 points (4-6 FG, 2-3 3Pt, 5-5 FT), two rebounds, eight assists and two steals in 34 minutes.

Impact Lipsey recorded one of his better performances of the season, posting 15 points on an efficient 4-for-6 from the floor including drilling 2-of-3 from deep. The junior point guard added two boards and a couple of steals while dishing out eight dimes against just one turnover. The return of Keshon Gilbert to the lineup after missing a few games helped open things up for Lipsey and the Cyclones, who are returning to full health just in time for the postseason. Lipsey was a key cog for the club last season but has seen a dip in his numbers all the way around this season as players like Curtis Jones and Joshua Jefferson are enjoying career seasons. Iowa State has the depth to make a deep run in the postseason but an effective Tamin Lipsey is the most important cog in the Cyclones' hopes of making a trip to the Final Four for the first time in more than 80 years.

FEBRUARY 3 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Slow finish to January Lipsey logged eight points (3-6 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 1-2 FT), two rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal over 34 minutes during Saturday's 76-61 victory over Arizona State.

Impact Lipsey is averaging just 8.4 ppg over his last five games and 9.9 ppg on the season -- a relatively steep decline from the 12.4 ppg he logged a season ago. His field-goal percentage is up, but his rebounding and assists numbers are down tremendously, representing a tough break for fantasy managers who selected the ISU shooting guard with hopes for growth. Despite the individual regression, the Cyclones are still having an excellent season, sporting a 7-1 record in Big 12 play and positioning themselves well for a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
