LAST TIME OUT
Following a rare forfeiture by TCU Wednesday morning before that evening's loss to Texas Tech, Iowa State moved to 6-1 for just the second time in program history, matching the 2000 team's best start to Big 12 play. Emily Ryan posted a season-high 18 points to lead Iowa State, finishing 8-of-13 from the floor with five assists, two blocks and a steal. Jalynn Bristow had a perfect shooting night, going 4-of-4 from the floor and 2-of-2 from 3-point range. Hannah Belanger (11) and Audi Crooks (14) also finished in double figures while Crooks recorded her third double-double with a game-high 12 rebounds. Like every other game this season, Iowa State outrebounded Texas Tech, 40-30. ISU's rebound margin is +12.8, the sixth-best mark in the nation.
REIGNING FROM THREE
As has been the case for decades, Iowa State is one of the top 3-point shooting teams in the country.
