IRVING, Texas – The Iowa State women's basketball team placed four student-athletes on the 2016 Academic All-Big 12 teams. The Cyclones' Madison Baier and Claire Ricketts earned spots on the first team, while Nicole “Kidd” Blaskowsky and Jadda Buckley were named to the second team.
Baier and Ricketts each earned Academic All-Big 12 honors for the first time and were two of the 39 Big 12 players to be named to the first team.

Buckley is a marketing major and has started every game this season while averaging 11.4 points and 6.0 assists, which ranks third in the Big 12 and in the top-20 nationally.
All four Cyclones are first-time Academic All-Big 12 honorees.
