Keshon Gilbert’s big night leads No. 7 Iowa State past No. 14 Baylor 76-62 in Big 12 semifinals
Associated PressThe AP Top 25 men’s college basketball poll is back every week throughout the season! — Tamin Lipsey grew up in the shadows of Iowa State, always dreaming of playing for the Cyclones, and he has vivid memories of watching his favorite team on television as it captured Big 12 Tournament championships. Keshon Gilbert had 20 points, seven rebounds and seven assists, and Lipsey joined Curtis Jones and Hason Ward in a supporting role as the seventh-ranked Cyclones beat No. It’s ‘Hilton South,’ that’s what we call it.” Jones finished with 13 points and Lipsey and Ward had 10 apiece for the Cyclones, who went on a 17-3 run to start the second half and led by as many as 22 points before keeping the Bears at distance the rest of the way. Iowa State tends to take over T-Mobile Center during the Big 12 Tournament, turning it into a slightly newer, slightly glitzier version of Hilton Coliseum, and that was the case again for its semifinal against Baylor.
