Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State (14-11, 1-9) travels to No. 21/17 Texas A&M (19-5, 6-4) on Wednesday to face its second of four-straight ranked opponents...ISU has played four-straight ranked opponents just two other times in school history (1994-95; 2002-03).
- Freshman Calvin Godfrey will return from a three-game suspension against the Aggies...he missed the last three games after violating team rules.
- Senior Jamie Vanderbeken sprained his left ankle in the Kansas game and missed the entire second half...he is listed as doubtful against Texas A&M.
- If Vanderbeken is unable to go, ISU will have just seven scholarship players available.
- Junior Scott Christopherson has made a 3-pointer in 27 consecutive games, tying the school record with Mike Taylor, who made a 3-pointer in 27-straight games in the 2006-07 season...one 3-pointer by Christopherson against the Aggies would set a new Cyclone standard for consecutive games with a 3-pointer.
Last Time Out
- Iowa State lost for the seventh time in a row on Saturday, falling at No. 2 Kansas, 89-66.
- A 23-4 Kansas run in the first half put the game out of reach...the Cyclones were down 33-12 after KU's run with 6:28 left in the first half...Iowa State virtually played even with the second-ranked Jayhawks for the final 26 minutes of the game.
- Iowa State played without Calvin Godfrey, who was sitting out the final game of a three-game suspension.
