WORTH NOTING
1. Iowa State is currently in the middle of a three-game stretch against teams that defeated them in their first meeting...the Cyclones won the first of these games Saturday against Kansas State.
2. An Iowa State win would give ISU 20 wins for the seventh time in the last eight seasons and would make this Cyclone team the fourth-fastest to reach 20 wins in school history.
3. Steve Prohm is looking to become the seventh ISU head coach to reach 80 wins at the school...it would also give him 20 wins in seven of his first eight seasons as a head coach.
4. Prohm has coached the Cyclones to 14 wins against the AP Top-25 in his first four seasons, trailing only Johnny Orr (24) and Fred Hoiberg (23)...as a team, ISU has the fourth-most wins (32) against the top-25 since 2013-14.
5. Lindell Wigginton is leading the Cyclones in scoring the last six games...he is averaging 17.0 points and shooting 52.7 percent from the field and 51.6 percent behind the arc during that stretch.
