Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State puts its three-game win streak on the line Saturday as it travels to face Oklahoma in a nationally-televised Big12 showdown.
- ISU has been ranked in the Associated Press top-25 for 28-straight weeks.
- The Cyclones rank 14th nationally in scoring defense (53.3 ppg) and eighth in field-goal percentage defense (33.5).
- Iowa State is now 16-5 overall and 4-3 in Big 12 play after rolling past Oklahoma State, 79-59, Wednesday evening at Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones reached the 70-point mark for the third-straight game, the first time they have achieved that feat in Big 12 play since the 2004-05 season.
- Kelsey Bolte got back on track with 20 points on 6-of-9 shooting to lead the Cyclones. Bolte, who was 4-for-4 from behind the arc, was joined in double figures by Hallie Christofferson (15) and Anna Prins (14).
- In the Cyclones' previous game against Missouri, Chelsea Poppens grabbed 19 boards, the most by a Cyclone since Feb. 9, 2002, when Angie Welle had a school-record 23 against Colorado.
- In conference action, Bolte is third among Big 12 players averaging 21.7 points per game. Bolte and Texas freshman Chassidy Fussell are the only players in the Big 12 to score 20+ points in six Big 12 games.
- Bolte is one of the nation's top shooters. The senior ranks 10th in three-point field goal percentage at 46.9 percent and 18th in 3-pointers made per game (2.9).
- Of the players ranked ahead of Bolte, who is fifth (52.5), in field goal percentage in league games, only Texas A&M's Maryann Baker is a guard like Bolte. Bolte has attempted 65 more shots from the field than Baker.
- Chassidy Cole has 14 assists and and just three turnovers in the last three games. The junior leads the league in Big 12 play averaging 3.7 assists for every turnover she commits.
- Christofferson has been in double-figures 10 times this season. Her 15 points against OSU marked the first time in three non-starts she has reached double figures off the bench.
- Iowa State has had three or more players in double figures in the last three games after not having more than two players reach double digits in the first four conference games.
- Lauren Mansfield has recorded five or more assists 15 times this season.
- Bolte, who has made 249 career 3-pointers, sits 25 shy of Stacy Frese for third all-time at Iowa State.

- 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.
