Iowa State sends Arizona State, Hurley home in Big 12 blowout - ESPN

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Seventh-ranked Iowa State trounced turnover-prone Arizona State 91-42 on Wednesday in the second round of the Big 12 tournament in what might have been the Sun Devils' final game with coach Bobby Hurley on the bench.

Iowa State's 49-point win was the largest in Big 12 tournament history, topping Texas' 43-point win over Colorado in 2000, according to ESPN Research. It was also the second-largest loss in Arizona State history behind a 50-point defeat to Texas Tech in 1956.

Milan Momcilovic scored 21 points, Joshua Jefferson had 20 points and 12 rebounds for the fifth-seeded Cyclones (26-6), who beat the Sun Devils (17-16) for the second time in less than a week while advancing to play No. 16 Texas Tech in the quarterfinals on Thursday.

Santiago Trouet had 13 points for Arizona State, which was just 1 of 19 from 3-point range, turned the ball over 23 times and was called for three technical fouls.

Iowa State was so thoroughly dominant that it had built a 45-16 lead by halftime. The decisive blow was an 18-0 run late in the first half, when the Sun Devils earned two of their three technicals on a single disastrous trip down court.

The sequence began as Buchanan was hammered by the Sun Devils' Pig Johnson on a drive to the basket, a foul that was upgraded to flagrant. Massamba Diop was barking at Buchanan as he stood up and was hit with the
