LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Deonte Burton launched soft, feathery jumpers from the perimeter and was just as effective muscling his way to the basket when he found that more to his and No. 21 Iowa States advantage.The Cyclones burly 6-foot-5 forward is tough to defend wherever he is on the court. Just ask the Miami Hurricanes.We dont have anybody as big and strong as he is. Hes 250. Most of our guys are like 200, 220, Miami coach Jim Larranaga said after Burton scored 21 points and Iowa State used a 17-2 second-half run to pull away to a 73-56 victory in the AdvoCare Invitational at Disney World on Friday.Burton, the 2016 Big 12 newcomer of the year, made eight of 16, including both of his 3-pointers, to bounce back from what he felt was a subpar performance in the Cyclones tournament-opening victory over Indiana State. He also finished with a team-leading seven rebounds.I had a good game because of my teammates. Yesterday I didnt play too well, but they stuck by me, Burton said. They told me I would do better.

(Thursday) was a tough game. I read a lot, you hear what everybody says. I like when people doubt us. Its good. It keeps you more focused. It keeps you humble. But the thing that I was most proud of was the thing people question about us, our toughness and our defense. I think that won the game for us today.Darrell Bowie hit an awkward layup as he tumbled to the floor and also hit a short jumper during a 17-2 run the Cyclones put together over an 8-minute stretch of the second half.I thought Iowa State was very sharp. If you look at their stats from (Thursday), they didnt make a free throw. Today, they didnt miss, so every day is a little different, Larranaga said. Today, we just couldnt make a shot. Some of it had to do with their defense, but we were uncharacteristically in a hurry. We had 19 turnovers. We dont normally do that, and a lot of the turnovers were unforced.JaQuan Newton led Miami with 21 points. Backcourt mate Davon Reed added 13 for the Hurricanes, who shot 36 percent from the field, including going just 2 of 16 on 3-point attempts.Burton hit a jumper, Donovan Jackson buried a 3-pointer and Monte Morris hit two free throws to finish the surge that broke the game open.
