Rasir Bolton scored all 19 point of his points in the second half, and Michael Jacobson and Tyrese Haliburton also finished with 19 points each in Iowa State's 79-61 win over Missouri-Kansas City in a nonconference game Wednesday night at Ames, Iowa.

George Conditt contributed 12 points for the Cyclones (5-3).

UMKC (5-5) was led by Marvin Nesbitt Jr., who had 11 points on 5-of-8 shooting before fouling out with 4:30 remaining and Iowa State up by seven. Rob Whitfield had 10 points for the Kangaroos.

After Nesbitt exited, Iowa State went on a 16-2 run to pull away to a 79-58 lead with 1:12 left. Bolton had 11 points in that pivotal stretch, hitting 4 of 5 at the free-throw line. Iowa State made 18 of 19 shots at the line in the second half and 22 of 26 overall.

UMKC wound up 7 of 10 on foul shots.

Jacobson and Haliburton combined to score 27 points on 11-of-13 shooting from the field in the first half, leading the Cyclones to a 37-31 halftime lead. Jacobson made all six of his field-goal attempts, and Haliburton was 2 of 3 from 3-point range.

UMKC was beset by poor 3-point shooting (2 of 11) and turnovers (nine) in the first half. The Kangaroos finished 4 of 18 from beyond the arc and had 17 giveaways that led to 30 Cyclones points.

Iowa State built a 45-33 lead on a second-chance jumper by Conditt with 15:17 in regulation, but they then went cold and became turnover-prone.

The Kangaroos went on an 11-0 run, taking advantage of three missed shots and four turnovers by Iowa State to cut the deficit to 45-44 with 11:19 remaining.

The Cyclones went 4:15 without scoring until Haliburton made two free throws with 11:02 left, giving them a 47-44 lead.

Their field-goal drought of 6:03 ended with Jacobson's jumper with 9:14 left. Haliburton added a layup on the next possession to build on the 8-2 run that put Iowa State ahead 53-46 with 8:15 remaining.
