ISU uses six starters approach led by Curtis Jones and Milan Momcilovic
Iowa State coach T J Otzelberger treats the top six players as an extended starting lineup with Curtis Jones central to the plan. Jones and Milan Momcilovic share the “sixth starter” role providing energy off the bench or at tip, while Keshon Gilbert remains a scoring threat. The system supports depth, ego control, and continued NCAA tournament momentum as ISU pursues another Sweet 16 run.
