DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) With an ugly defeat staring them in the face, the Cyclones finally found their defense and put away pesky Drake.

Michael Jacobson scored 22 points, Marial Shayok had 16 of his 18 in the second half and Iowa State rallied to beat Drake 77-68 on Saturday for its sixth win in seven games.

Freshman Talen Horton scored 15 points with nine rebounds and four assists for the Cyclones, who used a late 12-0 run - keyed by a much stronger effort on the defensive end - to avoid the upset.
