Iowa State stomps Tennessee State, 108-74

ST. LOUIS -- Tennessee State likes a track meet, but there was no keeping pace with the Cyclones on Friday in a first-round matchup with No. 2 seed Iowa State.

The Cyclones dominated the final 39 minutes of action in a 108-74 victory, advancing to play No. 7 Kentucky in a second-round Midwest Region game on Saturday.

Iowa State took it to the No. 15 seed Tigers and kept regulars on the court deep into the game despite losing All-American forward Joseph Jefferson to a left leg injury early in the game.
