Talen Horton-Tucker poured 26 points to go with 14 rebounds, and Michael Jacobson scored 23 points as Iowa State used a huge second half to throttle Illinois 84-68 in a consolation-bracket game of the Maui Invitational on Tuesday at Lahaina Civic Center in Hawaii.
The Cyclones turned in a strong second half and took advantage of a game-long advantage in free throws, finishing with a 24-10 edge in made foul shots.
Jacobson came close to a double-double with eight rebounds. Marial Shayok added 17 points and seven boards, and Nick Weiler-Babb had 10 points for Iowa State.
The Cyclones trailed 39-34 at halftime and dipped into a seven-point hole early in the second half.
But Iowa State went on several scoring runs after intermission and created a 56-46 lead with slightly less than 12 minutes to play.
A 9-0 run helped stretch the advantage to 67-50.
Instead of forging a comeback as it did a night earlier before losing, the Illini's hole grew deeper as the Cyclones outscored them 50-29 over the final 20 minutes.
Iowa State (4-1) will take on San Diego State in Wednesday's fifth-place game. Illinois (1-3) meets Xavier in the seventh-place game.
Trent Frazier scored 15 points, while Ayo Dosunmu had 13 points and Aaron Jordan provided 11 points for the Illini.
The Illini, which had a spirited comeback a night earlier before an 84-78 loss to No. 3 Gonzaga, had trouble getting on track with four turnovers and only one basket across the first four minutes against Iowa State.
The first six shots for Illinois were from 3-point range, with Dosunmu making two of those.
The Illini ended up 12-for-33 on 3-point attempts.
The Illinois defense has rated high in forcing turnovers through the first couple of weeks of the season, but Iowa State was charged with only 11 turnovers.
