Iowa State blows by Missouri
Cyclone player back in rhythm
By Chuck Schoffner The Associated Press
AMES, Iowa — Iowa State's Dedric Willoughby is healthy again. It shows in the bounce in his step and it definitely shows in his shooting.
Willoughby, bothered for much of the season by sore hamstrings in both legs, busted loose for the second straight game last night. He scored 22 points in the first half and finished with 29 as No. 9 Iowa State rolled past Missouri 87-59.
That followed his career-high 36 points in Sunday's loss to No.1-ranked Kansas.
"The injuries messed me up mentally and physically," said Willoughby, who went through a stretch of almost three weeks without practicing. "Sitting around, not practicing with the team, it really got me out of sync.
"Then I came back right before the Kansas game, and started getting my rhythm again," he said. "I was starting to feel like the Dedric of old."
Willoughby, who also has been slowed by wrist and ankle injuries this season, made all
five of his first-half 3-point shots, finished 6 for 8 from behind the arc and was 9 for 16 overall.
The 6-foot-3 senior was 11 for 19 against Kansas, including a school-record nine 3-pointers. He's 15 for 24 on threes in the last two games.
"it's a feel-good game for us" Iowa State coach Tim Floyd said. "I think it's safe to assume that Dedric Willoughby's healthy and well again and ready to go. He's practiced now four days in a row, which is his longest stretch.
"It was encouraging to me to see him putting the ball on the floor in addition to all those threes that were going down and taking it back to the basket."
Iowa State (17-4 overall, 8-3 Big 12) took control with an 18-1 run that spanned the two halves. The Cyclones shot 70.4 percent in the second half and a season-high 63.5 percent for the game while matching their biggest margin ever against Missouri (12-12, 4-7).
"We did a bad job on Willoughby and he had a great first half," Missouri coach Norm Stewart said. "We couldn't control him and he burned us."
Missouri, playing its third consecutive game against a Top 10 opponent, never recovered from Iowa State's big run and lost to the Cyclones for the sixth straight time. The Tigers, 0-6 on the road this season, upset Kansas on Feb. 4 and lost to No. 2 Wake Forest on Sunday.
Wallowough hit three three-pointers in the final 1-37 of the first half as Iowa State closed the half with an 11-1 run to turn a 27-26 lead into a 38-27 cushion. At that point, Willowough had taken 11 shots and made eight.
"It's getting to the point where it doesn't matter who's guarding me because my teammates are setting such good screens," Willoughby said. "They open me up and once I get my feet under me, I let it go."
Iowa State then scored the first seven points of the second half to stretch the lead to 45-27.
The closest Missouri got after that was 54-44 on a basket by Kelly Thames, who led the Tigers with 20 points. Iowa State then pulled away again with the help of a technical foul on the Missouri bench.
Willoughby sank one of two free throws for the technical, which came with 11:01 to play, and Cato followed with a jump shot to make it 60-44.
After Missouri drew to 60-48 on Derek Grimm's 3-pointer, Iowa State scored nine of the next 10 points to stretch its lead to 20 and put it out of reach.
"You always feel better when you make a lot of shots and we just shot the ball great tonight." Flovd said.
Jason Sutherland added 12 points for Missouri. Grimm, the Tigers' 1.0 score with an 11.7 average, scored only six.

Willoughby hit his first, four shots, including a pair of 3-pointers, as Iowa State took a 12-9 lead six minutes into the game. He then made only one basket and missed three of four free throws over the next 12 minutes before heating up again.
First he hit a 3-pointer from the left wing to give Iowa State a 32-26 lead with 1:37 left in the half. Then he nailed a trey from the left corner with 47 seconds remaining to make it 35-27.
And finally, with the 6-8 Thames in his face,
Willoughby nailed a 3-pointer from two steps beyond the arc on the right side just before the buzzer to put the Cyclones up by 11.
Texas Tech counters A&M's strong second-half comeback
Raiders' Carr, Battie lead team to conference victory against rival Aggies
The Associated Press
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — The Texas A&M Aggies thought they had some momentum entering halftime of yesterday's game versus No. 21 Texas Tech. That was before Cory Carr took over.
The Red Raiders' forward scored 22 points and ignited Tech in the second half of an 80-65 victory.
Tech (15-6, 7-4 in the Big 12 Conference) led by 14 points in the first half before the Aggies rallied to cut the lead to 37-34 at intermission.

"Cory Carr really took over in the second half," said Texas A&M coach Tony Barone. "We had some momentum going into halftime, then they came out in the second half and stopped it."
Calvin Davis scored five points in an 11-3 A&M run that tied the score at 52-52 with 10:03 left, but Tech countered with a 14-2 run for a 66-54 lead with 4:14 remaining. Carr and Gracen Averil each scored four points in the spurt.
"I was real concerned about their run at the half, but in the second half I thought we did an excellent job on the boards," said Tech coach James Dickey. "They made a nice run and did some things well to tie it up. I thought their combination of inside-outside was good."
We don't have a lot of bench, and they really

Texas win proves difficult
The Associated Press
Texas, who lost their No. 23 national ranking after the loss in Waco, trailed through most of the second half.
AUSTIN — For Texas, revenge against the Baylor Bears for a Jan. 28 loss wasn't as easy as the Longhorns had hoped.
But Reggie Freeman scored 26 points, including a pair of clutch free throws with 28 seconds to go yesterday, lifting Texas to a 70-67 victory over Baylor.
"We tried to keep getting the ball in Reggie Freeman's hands down the stretch, and Reggie came through big time for us," Texas coach Tom Penders said. "He was scoring buckets and drawing fouls and dishing the ball in to the right people."
The Longhorns (14-7, 8-3 Big 12) had to overcome a 12-point deficit in the final seven minutes.
Patrick Hunter scored 18 points for Baylor (13-7, 3-8), which is 0-6 in Big 12 road games.
Baylor was in control for most of the second half.
Brian Skinner blocked a Dennis Jordan shot and then converted a dunk on the other end to cap a 12-0 Baylor run that gave the Bears their biggest lead, 58-48 with 8:27 to go.
But the Longhorns began to play solid half-court defense, chipping away at Baylor's lead. It gave the home crowd of 14,810 a chance to get into the game and overwhelm the young Bears down the stretch.
I thought the crowd really made a huge difference for UT," Baylor coach Harry Miller said.
Texas went on a 17-4 run to take a 67-66 team with 1:10 remaining.
Baylor's Doug Brandt made one of two free throws to tie the game at 67-67 with 39.7 seconds remaining. Freeman then drove the baseline and was fouled by Skinner with 28 seconds left.
Freeman hit both free throws to give the Longhorns a 69-67 lead. Baylor's Roderick Miller missed a 3-point try, and Texas' Ira Clark was fouled on the rebound.
