DES MOINES, IOWA -- Junior guard Lucca Staiger set a Drake Knapp Center record by making 10 three-point baskets as Iowa State snapped a three-game losing streak to Drake with a 90-70 victory Tuesday night.

Staiger finished with a career-high 32 points, including 19 in the second half.

Junior forward Craig Brackins dominated the inside for Iowa State collecting 22 points and 10 rebounds.

"That is a really good Big 12 team," said Drake head coach Mark Phelps.  "They have a lot of ingredients. They have two shooters and a preseason all-American in Brackins (Craig). Staiger (Lucca) is a very good player. He played like a great player tonight."

The loss was just the second for Drake in its last 13 games against Big Four opponents from the state.

"Their (Iowa State) physicality and athleticism is much improved from last year," Phelps added. "That proved to be the difference certainly in a game where the most physical team would come out on top."

Newcomers accounted for 51 of Drake's 70 points, led by freshman Ben Simons with 24. The 24 points were the ninth best in school history by a Drake freshman. Simons made 8 of 11 shots, including 4 of 6 from three-point range.

"We know Ben is a really good player," Phelps said. "We knew that when we recruited him. We celebrated when we signed him. He doesn't just score - he knows how to play. He had three assists and no turnovers, a nice job by Ben."

Junior transfer guard Ryan Wedel added 13 points for Drake.

Senior guard Josh Young, who missed Drake's season opener last Saturday with a hip-pointer, returned to the starting line-up scoring the Bulldogs' first seven points of the game.

Young finished with 11 points, four rebounds and two assists.

"We made a decision this morning with the training staff that he was going to play," Phelps. "It is an injury that just takes time. Without the benefit of a lot of practice last week, I think he came in and did a fine job.

"As much as we need his talent and scoring ability, we need his leadership even more so."

After a three-point basket by Simons brought Drake within 28-22, the Cyclones scored the next six points to build their first double-digit lead of the game.

Drake opened the second half with a 9-3 run, capped by Adam Templeton's 3-pointer, to cut Iowa State's lead to 54-41. The Bulldogs got to within 13 one other time, hitting three consecutive 3-pointers to cut the lead to 75-62 with 6:38 to play.

Iowa State outrebounded Drake, 39-21. Brackins led Iowa State with 10 rebounds. Templeton's five rebounds led the Bulldogs.

Drake shot 45.3 percent from the floor, making 24 of 53 shots. Iowa State hit at a 56.3 percent clip, drilling 36 of 54 shots.

Staiger set the record with a fadeaway from the left wing with 2:55 remaining, breaking the previous mark of nine by Chris Kingsbury of Iowa on Nov. 29, 1994 and Kyle Anslinger of Evansville on Feb. 11, 2006.

Junior guard Diante Garrett of Iowa State tied the Drake Knapp Center record with 11 assists. David Fizdale of San Diego first set that mark on Dec. 29, 1994. That total also matches Garrett's career high.

Drake will play three games in three days in the Glenn Wilkes Classic in Daytona Beach, Fla., starting with a Friday test against Georgia State.
