Quickly ...
Iowa State is looking to protect an unblemished 4-0 record at Hilton Coliseum, playing host to Drake in the first of two consecutive games against instate opponents ... the Cyclones dropped an 89-80 decision at Iowa in their first intrastate matchup of the season ... this is Drake's first instate game of the year ... DU head coach Amy Stephens was an assistant at Iowa State from 1992-94 ... Bulldog assistant coach Linda Lappe, a native of Morning Sun, Iowa, played against Bill Fennelly's Cyclones while at Colorado from 1998-2003.
About the Cyclones
ISU, now 4-1 overall, got a career-high 30 points and 10 rebounds from senior Katie Robinette in an 88-65 win over Wisconsin Sunday ... it was Robinette's second double-double of the season and the most points a Cyclone has scored since Lindsey Wilson poured in 41 points against Colorado on Feb. 26, 2003 ... the Cyclones recorded 22 assists on ISU's 28 field goals made in the game, shooting 50 percent from the floor ... ISU is averaging 90.4 points on 47 percent shooting for the season, including 37.4 percent accuracy from behind the arc ... the Cyclones are outrebounding opponents by an average of 14.6 per game (49.2-34.6) ... five Cyclones are averaging over nine points per contest.

DU is 2-0 on the road this season after winning at UMKC (74-70) in its season opener and at Michigan (61-60) Nov. 30 ... the Bulldogs'only loss is to Marquette, a 73-54 defeat at home Nov. 26 ...

Change is Good
Senior guard Anne O'Neil made adjustments to her 3-point shot over the summer, adopting a quicker release and more conventional form ... she has drained 10-of-20 from outside for 50.0 percent accuracy this season ... O'Neil hit 33.5 percent in her previous three seasons with her - uh, well - let's just call it "unorthodox" 3-point shooting form.
30 Seconds of Defense

Bill Fennelly, a master of the zone defense, has added a man-to-man defense to his arsenal ... the Cyclones have bought into the system, forcing nine shot-clock violations this season ...
