AMES, Iowa (AP) Milan Momcilovic scored 17 points as No. 9 Iowa State Cyclones survived a late scare from No. 22 Arizona Wildcats for an 84-67 win on Saturday night.

Tamin Lipsey added 15 for the Cyclones (22-7, 12-6 Big 12) while Curtis Jones and Nate Heise each contributed 12 points off the bench. Brandton Chatfield scored 10 points for a new season-high with Iowa State.

Jaden Bradley scored 18 points while KJ Lewis added 13 off the bench to lead the Wildcats (19-10, 13-5), who have lost four of their last six games.

The Cyclones turned the tables on the Wildcats after suffering an overtime loss in Tucson on Jan. 27.

Arizona: The Wildcats struggled to find success from deep, shooting 4 for 22 (18.2%) from 3-point range.

Iowa State: The Cyclones tied a season-high with 11 made 3-pointers, with nine in the first half. Momcilovic was 4 of 7 to lead Iowa State in that category.

The Cyclones made eight consecutive shots in the first half, seven of which came from 3-point range, on the way to a 43-30 halftime lead.

Arizona forced Iowa State into 16 turnovers but was outscored 19-12 in points off turnovers, with only two points coming in the first half.

Iowa State hosts BYU on Tuesday night, while Arizona hosts Arizona State on the same day.
