- The Sooners lead the all-time series, 23-33, but Iowa State has won five of the last six meetings between the two teams. Iowa State also won its last two meetings in Norman, with the Cyclones downing OU 72-68 in 2012-13 and defeating OU 82-75 in an overtime thriller last season behind a 29-point performance by Jadda Buckley.
- Iowa State is first in the nation in free-throw shooting (78.4%). The Cyclones finished both the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons with the nation's best mark at the charity stripe. No team in men's or women's basketball has ever led the nation three-straight seasons.
In conference play, Iowa State ranks second in the nation in assisted basket percentage with assists on 77.2 percent of its baskets.

- Moody became the 26th player in Iowa State history to reach 1,000 career points. Against Oklahoma State, Moody moved into 17th all-time passing Jolene Leseman (1,201). Moody sits at 1,217 points for her career, which puts her 31 points shy of 16th all-time, which is owned by Nicky Wieben (1,248).
- Moody is second in the nation in career assists (673) and third nationally in career assists per game (5.83). Moody ranks second in Iowa State history in assists with 673, she trails the school record held by Lyndsey Medders by just 48. Moody also led the Cyclones in assists with 163 last season, becoming the fifth Cyclone under Fennelly to lead ISU in assists in three-consecutive seasons.

- The 2014-15 season marks the 20th in the tenure of Fennelly. Fennelly has led Iowa State to 15 NCAA Tournament appearances, which is the most of any Big 12 team since 1997. Fennelly boasts a 430-199 record at Iowa State and a 596-252 record in his 27-year career as a head coach. His 596 career wins lists him as 17th in the NCAA among active coaches.
