Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State returns to Hilton Coliseum for a two-game homestand that starts Saturday against Colorado at 7 p.m. and concludes Monday on ESPN2 against Texas at 8 p.m.
- Sophomore forward Chelsea Poppens, who needs four points to reach 500 in her career, will celebrate her 20th birthday Saturday.
- ISU has been ranked in the Associated Press top-25 for 30-straight weeks.
- Iowa State is now 17-8 overall and 5-6 in Big 12 play after losing 61-50 at Texas Tech Wednesday night. The Cyclones fell behind early and were unable to overcome the Lady Raiders, who held ISU All-American candidate Kelsey Bolte to a season-low five points.
- Anna Prins led the Cyclones with 12 points and was joined in double figures by Chelsea Poppens (11). The Cyclones shot just 38.6 percent from the field and 11-for-17 from the line.
- Bolte was held to single-digits for the first time in Big 12 play. Her previous low in conference action came against Missouri, when the senior scored 12 points in a 15-point Cyclone win.
- Bolte's 17.9 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 21.0 points per game. Bolte is tied for the Big 12 lead 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 45.1 percent and 20th in 3-pointers made per game (2.8). She is also eighth nationally in free-throw percentage (91.0).
- Hallie Christofferson has been in double-figures 13 times this season. She was recently named Big 12 freshman of the week after scoring a career-high 21 points at Kansas and grabbing 11 rebounds against Kansas State.
- 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 5.6 assists per game. Mansfield needs just three assists to move into the ISU single-season top-10.
- Bolte, who has made 257 career 3-pointers, sits 17 shy of Stacy Frese for third all-time at Iowa State.
- Bolte has made 29 of her last 30 free throws dating back to the Nebraska game on Jan. 26.
- 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 587-510 (.535) 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 (144-91). Only Oklahoma and Baylor have posted a better Big 12 record.
A Closer Look at Colorado
- Colorado is now 12-12 overall and 3-8 in Big 12 action following back-to-back losses to Texas Tech and Kansas State.
- In the Buffaloes' loss to Kansas State Wednesday night, the team shot just 32.7 percent from the field. Colorado was led by Chucky Jeffery's 18 points. Jeffery was 6-for-12 from the field and 6-for-6 from the free throw line.
- Colorado is 11th in the Big 12 averaging 61.4 points per game. As a team, the Buffaloes shoot 40.2 percent, including 33.0 percent from behind the arc.
- Brittany Spears averages a team-best 17.3 points per game to lead Colorado. Jeffery is the Buffaloes' top all-around player, averaging 14.2 points, 8.3 rebounds, 4.4 assists and 2.9 steals.
- In the first meeting between the Buffaloes and Cyclones, a 66-60 overtime win for Colorado, Brittany Wilson scored 19 points to lead four players in double figures.
Series Notes
- Today's meeting is the 67th and final regular-season meeting between the longtime conference foes.
- Colorado leads the all-time series 37-29, but Iowa State has won eight of the last nine contests. The Cyclones are 15-12 at home against the Buffaloes.
- Fennelly is 22-13 all-time against Colorado.
- Iowa State has won the last six meetings at home against Colorado by an average of 17.8 points.
- In eight career games against CU, Bolte has averaged 17.9 points. She has scored over 20 points three times.
- The Cyclones are 223-303 all-time against teams from the Big 12 Conference.
Last Time They Met
- The Cyclones lost 66-60 in overtime at the Coors Events Center on January 15. Bolte led the Cyclones with 26 points and was the only player in double figures. The Cyclones shot a season-low 31.8 percent.
- ISU overcame a seven-point halftime deficit to force overtime, but was outscored 9-3 in the extra period. The Cyclones' effort in overtime was hindered by 0-for-5 shooting at the free throw line.
She'll Be There
- In the past four seasons there has been one thing you could count on and that is Bolte taking the court. The senior has never missed a game, suiting up in all 127 career games to leave her tied for eighth all-time at Iowa State with former teammate Amanda Nisleit. Bolte is two games shy of another former teammate, Megan Ronhovde (2003-07), for seventh. The career mark is held by Heather Ezell (2006-09), who played in 135 games.
Mansfield Passing The Rock
- Lauren Mansfield has dished out 141 assists this season, just three shy of moving into the single-season top-10. Tracy Horvath (1989) is just in front of Mansfield on the list with 144. To view the complete chart see page eight of this notes packet.
