Royce White’s triple-double, only the fourth in school history, helped Iowa State to a 74-50 win over Texas A&M on Saturday.
White had 10 points, a career-high 18 rebounds and a career-high 10 assists as the Cyclones (12-3) won their seven straight game and broke an eight-game losing streak against Texas A&M. It was Iowa State’s first win in College Station since 2001.
White’s triple-double was the first by a Cyclone since 2006 when Curtis Stinson did it against Colorado.
Iowa State had four others in double figures: Melvin Ejim with 15, Scott Christopherson with 13, Chris Babb with 11 and Chris Allen with 10. The effort enabled Allen to surpass the 1,000-point mark for his career.
Texas A&M (9-5) was led by Ray Turner, who had 13 points and 12 rebounds. Elston Turner scored 11 and Dash Harris added 10.
