Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State travels to Lubbock to face Texas Tech in a key Big 12 matchup between teams next to each other in the league standings. The Cyclones are in the midst of a stretch in which they play four games in nine days.
- ISU has been ranked in the Associated Press top-25 for 30-straight weeks.
- Iowa State is now 17-7 overall and 5-5 in Big 12 play after defeating Kansas State, 61-53, Sunday afternoon at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones picked up the win despite tying a season-low with just two 3-pointers.
- Kelsey Bolte tallied 25 points behind a career-best 12-for-12 performance from the free throw line. Anna Prins returned to score 10 points after missing the game against Kansas due to knee discomfort. Hallie Christofferson recorded her second double-digit rebounding effort against K-State, pulling down 11 rebounds.
- Christofferson, the reigning Big 12 Freshman of the Week, is averaging 15.2 points and shooting 62.8 percent (27-43) from the field the last five games. She is also 19-for-23 from the free throw line during that stretch. The Hamlin, Iowa native has been in double figures in four of the last five games.
- Bolte's 18.5 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 22.6 points per game. Bolte leads the Big 12 with nine 20-point games in conference play.
- Bolte is one of the nation's top shooters. The senior ranks fifth in three-point field goal percentage at 46.3 percent and 20th in 3-pointers made per game (2.8). She is also eighth nationally in free-throw percentage (90.8).
- Christofferson has been in double-figures 13 times this season.
- Lauren Mansfield has recorded five or more assists 17 times this season. She is second in the Big 12 and ranks 14th in the country (as of 2-13) with 5.8 assists per game. Mansfield needs just six assists to move into the ISU single-season top-10.
- Bolte, who has made 256 career 3-pointers, sits 18 shy of Stacy Frese for third all-time at Iowa State.
- Since Fennelly's arrival, Iowa State is 213-35 (.859) 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 587-509 (.536) and are 298-141 (.679) 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 (144-90). Only Oklahoma and Baylor have posted a better Big 12 record.
