IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Iowa State spent the last 61 weeks in the Top 25.After getting crushed by Iowa, the Cyclones run as a ranked team is likely finished.Peter Jok scored 23 points and the Hawkeyes upset 25th-ranked Iowa State 78-64 on Thursday night, snapping a three-game losing skid against its instate rival.Isaiah Moss had 14 points to help the Hawkeyes (5-5), who start three freshmen, beat a Power Five opponent for this first time this season.I felt like we had the potential to be better than we were playing, said Iowa coach Fran McCaffery, whose once-reeling team lost to Nebraska-Omaha 98-89 last weekend. What were able to do is grow and learn.Iowa shot 59 percent in the first half, including 6 of 10 from 3-point range, and jumped ahead by as much as 46-29. The Cyclones (6-3) slowly chipped away at that deficit in the second half, but a 7-0 run by the Hawkeyes after Iowa State got to 60-53 finished them off.We were bad, Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said. We lost that game in the first half.Matt Thomas scored 14 points to lead the Cyclones, who were just 8 of 30 from 3-point range. Ball movement was again an issue for Iowa State, which had just nine assists on 25 made baskets -- although it did miss about a dozen layups.We have to play a certain way.

Pemsl is averaging 17 points in his last four games after an 11-point, five-rebound performance Thursday. People have to respect us.
