Iowa State officially opens the season Monday morning in Hilton Coliseum when it hosts Butler. The Cyclones embark on a season that will center around many new faces with eight newcomers on the roster following an 88-68 exhibition win over Truman State Wednesday.
INSIDE THE SERIES
Overall: First Meeting
FOUR THINGS
8 – The Cyclone women's basketball roster features eight new faces this season with three transfers and five freshman. Graduate transfer Hannah Belanger (Truman State), junior Isnelle Natabou (Sacramento State) and sophomore Alisa Williams (LSU) will provide collegiate basketball experience to a youthful squad while Williams will redshirt the 2023-24 season.
13 – Iowa State welcomed the No. 13 signing class of 2023 with 2023-24 freshmen Addy Brown (No. 31 in the ESPNw/Hoop Gurlz Class of 2023 rankings), Jalynn Bristow (No. 47), Audi Crooks (No. 57), Arianna Jackson and Kelsey Joens. All five additions ranked in the Jr. All-Star Girls Basketball Top 100.
22 – Iowa State ended a 22-year drought without a Big 12 trophy in March when the Cyclones claimed the 2023 Phillips 66 Big 12 Women's Basketball Championship trophy. It was the fourth Big 12 trophy of the Fennelly tenure, with ISU claiming a share of the regular season trophy in 2000 and tournament championships in 2000 and 2001.
894 – The Cyclones have made at least one 3-point field goal in an NCAA-record 894 consecutive games, a streak which encapsulates the entirety of the Bill Fennelly Era at Iowa State.
LEADING AT THE LINE
Iowa State has finished with a team free throw percentage above .750 in 10 of the last 11 seasons. Last season, the Cyclones finished 468-of-583 (.803) at the charity stripe for the second-highest percentage in NCAA Division I. It also marked the third-straight season of a free throw percentage above .800.
