Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State looks to snap a two-game skid Sunday as it plays host to Kansas State in its WBCA Pink Zone game. The game will be televised by ESPN2 in Iowa, Kansas and a small portion of western Missouri. Much of the rest of the nation will get "whip-around coverage."
- ISU has been ranked in the Associated Press top-25 for 29-straight weeks.
- Iowa State is now 16-7 overall and 4-5 in Big 12 play after falling to Kansas, 86-85, in overtime Wednesday night in Lawrence. The Cyclones trailed by as many as 15 in the second half before rallying to force overtime. ISU led by one with seven seconds left, but a turnover on the inbounds pass gave the ball back to Kansas, who got a bucket in the lane from Carolyn Davis to seal the win.
- Iowa State had three players score 20+ points for the first time since the 2002 season (Lindsey Wilson, 25; Tracy Gahan, 21; Angie Welle, 20 vs. Kansas State). Kelsey Bolte led the way with 26 points, Hallie Christofferson added a career-high 21 and Chelsea Poppens scored a season-high 20 points before fouling out near the end of regulation.
- Anna Prins missed the Kansas game with knee discomfort and is day-to-day.
- Christofferson is averaging 17 points and shooting 64.1 percent (25-39) from the field the last three games. She is also 15-for-17 from the free throw line during that stretch.
- Bolte's 18.2 points per game is the highest by a Cyclone since Lindsey Wilson's 19.3 in 2003.
- In conference action, Bolte is third among Big 12 players averaging 22.3 points per game. Bolte leads the Big 12 with eight 20-point games in conference play.
- Bolte is one of the nation's top shooters. The senior ranks third in three-point field goal percentage at 46.5 percent and 16th in 3-pointers made per game (2.9).
- Christofferson has been in double-figures 12 times this season, including four in a row.
- Iowa State's loss to Kansas was its first in a game in which more than two players scored in double figures. The Cyclones are 10-1 when three or more players record double-digit points.
- Lauren Mansfield has recorded five or more assists 16 times this season.
- Bolte, who has made 255 career 3-pointers, sits 19 shy of Stacy Frese for third all-time at Iowa State.
- Mansfield is second in the Big 12 and ranks 15th in the country (as of 2-10) with 5.8 assists per game. Mansfield needs just 11 assists to move into the ISU single-season top-10.
- Since Fennelly's arrival, Iowa State is 212-35 (.858) in games played at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones have never lost more than five home games in a season under Fennelly.
- The Cyclones have an overall record of 586-509 (.535) and are 297-141 (.678) all-time at Hilton Coliseum.
- ISU has made 11 trips to the NCAA Championships and is one of just 20 teams to boast four straight NCAA berths, and one of just five squads to make the NCAA Sweet 16 in the last two seasons. Iowa State also has a pair of Elite Eight berths.
- ISU has finished in the top four of the Big 12 final standings in four of the last six campaigns, and Iowa State has the third-best conference record in Big 12 history (143-90). Only Oklahoma and Baylor have posted a better Big 12 record.
