AMES, IOWA (AP) -- Cole Aldrich tied a season high with 19 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and No. 3 Kansas cruised past Iowa State 84-61 on Saturday for its fourth straight win.

Marcus Morris added 16 for the Jayhawks (18-1), who are off to their third straight 4-0 start in Big 12 play - with three of those
wins by double digits. Kansas had little trouble with the depleted Cyclones. The Jayhawks closed the first half on a 25-11 run and extended its lead to as much as 67-45 midway through the second half.

Kansas forced 17 turnovers and held Craig Brackins, who torched them for 42 points in Ames last season, to just 13 on 5-of-13
shooting.

Marquis Gilstrap had 18 points and 12 rebounds to lead Iowa State (12-7, 1-3), which dropped its ninth straight to Kansas and
its 17th straight to ranked opponents dating to 2006.
