Cyclone Quick Hits
- The Iowa State women's basketball team (13-16, 7-11 Big 12) is set to take on No. 10 seed Texas Tech (7-22, 1-17 Big 12) on Friday, March 2 at 8:30 p.m. on FCS. Iowa State is looking for its third win of the season over the Lady Raiders and its fourth-straight. Iowa State is looking for its first win in the Big 12 Tournament since 2013, when it advanced to the Championship Final against top-seeded Baylor. The Cyclones are 24-19 all-time in the Big 12 Tournament.
- Junior Bridget Carleton was a unanimous selection to the All-Big 12 First team for the second-straight season. Carleton joins Texas' Brooke McCarty and Baylor's Kalani Brown as the only two Big 12 players to earn the honor in the last two seasons. Both McCarty (2016-17) and Brown (2017-18) are elite company for Carleton as both have been named Big 12 Player of the Year the last two seasons.
- Carleton has 1,333 career points, and ranks 17th all-time in ISU history, and is six away from 16th. She currently ranks sixth in school history in career scoring average, with 15.3 points per game. She trails Jayme Olson, who is in fifth with 15.5 points per contest.
- Carleton is having a banner season, and has scored 545 points on the year, which currently ranks sixth in school history. Her 18.9 points per game currently ranks fourth in the single-season record book. She also needs just two steals to tie for seventh in school history (Heather Ezell, 63 in 2009). Her 488 field goal attempts this season are also the most in school history.
- With 347 points in Big 12 regular season action, Carleton broke the school record for most points in conference play.
- Emily Durr has been playing her best basketball of her career over the last 10 games. She is averaging 17.5 points per game and has scored 15 or more points in nine of the last 11 games and 20 or more in five of the last 11.
- Iowa State ranks first in the Big 12 and is ranked 22nd in the nation in 3-pointers per game (8.7). The Cyclones have four players who have netted over 40 triples on the years so far, leading the Big 12. Carleton leads the way with 61, followed by Durr with 52, Adriana Camber with 50 and Madison Wise with 44 on the season. Iowa State is one of just three teams to have four or more players with 40+ triples and one of three power-5 schools (FGCU & DePaul).
- Wise currently ranks first in the Big 12 in 3-point field-goal percentage, knocking down 43.3 percent from downtown. The freshman has knocked down 42 from beyond-the-arc on the year, which ranks in the top-10 nationally among true freshmen.
- The 20117-18 season marks the 23rd in the tenure of Bill Fennelly. Fennelly has led Iowa State to 17 NCAA Tournament appearances, which is tied with Oklahoma as the most of any Big 12 team since 1997. Fennelly boasts a 478-251 record at Iowa State and a 644-305 record in his 28-year career as a head coach. His 643 career wins lists him in the top-30 in the NCAA among active coaches.
