KEY STORYLINES
- Iowa State and T.J. Otzelberger look to avoid an 0-2 Big 12 start Wednesday when they face Texas Tech ... ISU has started 0-2 in league play just three times in the last 10 seasons.
- As of Tuesday, Iowa State is one of just 14 teams nationally with zero or one losses this season.
- The Cyclones are No. 11 in the AP Top 25 ... this will be the second consecutive top-25 matchup for the Cyclones after falling to top-ranked Baylor on Saturday ... this is the fifth top-25 matchup at Hilton Coliseum in the last seven seasons ... ISU is 3-2 in those games.
- The Cyclones are 12-1 for just the third time in school history (2013-14, 2000-01).Â
- ISU has one of the nation's top defenses, allowing just 57.7 points per game and holding opponents to 38 percent shooting from the field and 25.3 percent behind the arc ... eight of 13 opponents have scored 64 or fewer points ... only Baylor has shot above 44 percent against the Cyclones this season.
- ISU owns a top-10 defense by KenPom.com, ranking seventh in adjusted defensive efficiency.
- The Cyclones have already snapped losing streaks of 18-straight games overall, eight home games, 25 games against power conference opponents, 28 games away from Hilton Coliseum, 25 games in true road contests and 19 games to nationally ranked opponents.
- Tristan Enaruna has posted career high points in back-to-back games after a 23 point outing against Baylor on Saturday ... Enaruna has averaged 21.0 points and 9.0 rebounds the last two games, shooting 16-for-21 from the field and 10-for-11 at the line.
- Izaiah Brockington is third in the Big 12 in scoring and second in rebounding.
LAST TIME OUT
- Iowa State fell to top-ranked Baylor, 77-72, at Hilton Coliseum on Saturday ... it was the closest game of the season for the defending national champion Bears ... the Cyclones had three players in double figures, led by Tristan Enaruna with 23 points ... Brockington chipped in 18 points and Tyrese Hunter added 12 points ... Enaruna and Brockington led the Cyclones with eight boards each ... the Cyclones were 21-for-27 from the line and shot 61.5 percent on 2-point field goals, but were unable to overcome a 1-for-14 shooting performance behind the arc that proved to be the difference ... the Cyclones turned the Bears over 19 times ... ISU scored a season-high 44 points in the paint, finishing with eight dunks against the Bears.
ISU VERSUS TEXAS TECH
- The Cyclones and Red Raiders are playing the 40th game in the series with ISU owning a 20-19 edge in the series.
- Texas Tech has rattled off five consecutive wins in the series, including three in a row at Hilton Coliseum.
- T.J. Otzelberger has never faced Texas Tech or Mark Adams as a head coach.
- Adams faced the Cyclones once as a head coach ... in 1996, Adams led his UT-Pan American team, now UT-Rio Grande Valley, into Hilton Coliseum and fell to the Cyclones, 66-42.
- ISU is 391-610 against teams currently in the Big 12 Conference.
