Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State (19-8, 9-5), which is tied for third in the Big 12 standings, plays host to Texas Tech (8-18, 1-13) while looking for its sixth-straight league home win.
- Iowa State hasn't won six-straight Big 12 games at home since 2003-04 (7-straight).
- Iowa State is also looking for a season sweep of the Red Raiders...ISU, which swept Texas A&M and Oklahoma, hasn't had multiple sweeps in a season since 2000-01 (four).
- Iowa State is aiming for its 20th win...the Cyclones have not won 20 games in the regular season since 2000-01 (25-6) and 20 games overall since 2003-04 (20-13).
- ISU is also eyeing its 10th league victory...the Cyclones have won 10 or more games in league play just three times in school history: 1997 (10-6), 2000 (14-2), 2001 (13-3).
- Iowa State leads the Big 12 and ranks sixth nationally in 3-pointers per game (8.9)...ISU and Florida are the only two teams in the nation with four players with 45 3-pointers: Chris Allen (63), Chris Babb (57), Scott Christopherson (47) and Tyrus McGee (45).
- In its last five games, 67.8 pct. of ISU's FGs had an assist (86 asst./127 FGs).
