#CycloneNotes
• Iowa State was unable to close the home season with a win as it fell to Oklahoma State Tuesday evening at Hilton Coliseum...the Cyclones are looking to pick up their first true road win of the season Friday night (0-9).
• Iowa State boasts one of the top freshman duos in the nation in Lindell Wigginton and Cameron Lard...the pair makes ISU one of just three teams nationally, the others being Duke and Kentucky, to have two freshmen averaging at least 14 points per game in conference action...Wigginton is averaging 17.5 points and Lard 14.5 points against Big 12 foes, ranking them both among the top-15 in scoring in conference games only...with 820 total points combined, they are already the second-highest scoring freshman duo in school history, needing just 18 total points to pass Fred Hoiberg and Julius Michalik in 1991-92.
• Wigginton, a three-time Big 12 Newcomer of the Week honoree, is second among Big 12 freshmen in scoring average (16.5), above the ISU freshman scoring average record held by Curtis Stinson (16.2)...his 11 20-point games and 65 3-pointers made are an ISU rookie record....he needs two points to become the first Cyclone rookie and only the eighth Big 12 rookie to score 300 points in league games...since 1980, only three freshmen have started every game for the Cyclones: Ron Harris (1980-81), Adam Haluska (2002-03) and Craig Brackins (2007-08) as Wigginton has done...he's averaging 24.5 points the last two games, scoring 29 against West Virginia and 20 against Oklahoma State.
• Lard, a redshirt freshman, is averaging 14.5 points, 9.4 rebounds and 2.5 blocks in Big 12 games, while scoring in double figures in 14 of 17...Lard has posted double-doubles eight times overall, which is the third most by a freshman in school history...he is one of three freshman nationally and one of just eight players overall averaging 12-8-2...he has already set the ISU freshman record with 57 blocks, three shy of becoming the fifth Cyclone ever to have 60 blocks in a season.
• Donovan Jackson has connected on 92 three-pointers this season, making him just the fifth Cyclone to hit 90 threes in a season...he is just 10 shy of the ISU single-season record of 102 set by Dedric Willoughby (1996-97)...in his career, Jackson has 136 career 3-pointers (11th in school history)...he has made a three in 16 consecutive games...Jackson leads the Big 12 shooting 89.3 percent at the line.
• Zoran Talley Jr. is averaging 10.3 points since entering the starting lineup nine games ago...he is coming off a 15-point performance against Oklahoma State.
