Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State plays its second-straight road game Wednesday, traveling to Kansas before opening a stretch Sunday in which it plays four games in eight days.
- ISU has been ranked in the Associated Press top-25 for 29-straight weeks.
- The Cyclones rank 15th nationally in scoring defense (53.9 ppg) and 10th in field-goal percentage defense (33.8). Iowa State is also one of the top 3-point shooting teams nationally, ranking seventh while shooting 38.0 percent as a team.
- Iowa State is now 16-6 overall and 4-4 in Big 12 play after falling on the road to Oklahoma Saturday. The 65-62 loss saw the Cyclones up three with just under a minute to play. All of the Sooners' points in the final minute came on free throws. The Cyclone effort was hindered by a season-high 24 turnovers.
- Kelsey Bolte scored a team-high 23 points against the Sooners, her seventh time scoring 20 or more points in eight Big 12 games. Hallie Christofferson was in double figures for the third-straight game, tallying 14 points in the loss.
- Christofferson is averaging 15.7 points and shooting 58.6 percent (17-29) from the field the last three games. She is also 10-for-11 from the free throw line during that stretch.
- In conference action, Bolte is tied for third among Big 12 players averaging 21.9 points per game. Bolte and Texas freshman Chassidy Fussell are the only players in the Big 12 to score 20+ points in seven Big 12 games.
- Bolte is one of the nation's top shooters. The senior ranks third in three-point field goal percentage at 47.4 percent and 16th in 3-pointers made per game (2.9).
- Of the players ranked ahead of Bolte, who is fourth (52.5), in field goal percentage in league games, only Texas A&M's Maryann Baker is a guard like Bolte. Bolte has attempted 82 more shots from the field than Baker.
- Christofferson has been in double-figures 11 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 is 3-0 in conference games when three or more players score in double figures, but just 1-4 when two or less reach double digits.
- Lauren Mansfield has recorded five or more assists 15 times this season.
- Bolte, who has made 252 career 3-pointers, sits 22 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 2-6) with 5.8 assists per game.
- 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 586-508 (.536) 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 is tied with Baylor for the second-best conference record in Big 12 history (143-89).
A Closer Look at Kansas
- Kansas lost at Texas, 80-68, Saturday afternoon. The Jayhawks have lost six-of-their-last-seven games.
- Against Texas, Carolyn Davis scored 18 points and made eight of her 11 field goal attempts. Davis was joined in double figures by Aishah Sutherland (12) and Monica Engelman (10).
- Davis is one of the Big 12's top players, averaging 17.7 points and 7.3 rebounds. The sophomore forward also has a team-high 32 blocks this season.
- Engelman is second on the team in scoring with 12.3 points per game. Freshman Keena Mays dishes out 4.3 assists per game, while Angel Goodrich is averaging 5.1 dimes per game.
