Kyan Anderson led TCU (10-15, 1-11) with 11 points and matched a career high with eight assists. Connell Crossland scored 10.
Five Niang points keyed an early 9-2 Cyclones jaunt as they ran out to a 13-4 lead 5:27 into the game. After a Charles Hill Jr. 3-pointer pulled TCU within 22-19 with 5:56 left in the first half, Iowa State closed the frame on a 14-2 run, including deep balls from Niang, Lucious and Babb, to take a 36-21 advantage into halftime.
Garlon Green made a pair of 3-pointers as the Horned Frogs cut their deficit to 40-31 3:26 into the second half, but an 11-1 Cyclones response pushed the cushion to 51-32 2:09 later. TCU never got closer than 13 from there as Iowa State quickly pulled away.
