REIGNING FROM THREE
As has been the case for decades, Iowa State is one of the top 3-point shooting teams in the country. Hannah Belanger leads the ISU effort from deep, canning 50 triples through 22 games and connecting on 37.9 percent of her attempts from deep. This season, ISU is 22nd in NCAA DI and second in the Big 12 with 8.6 triples per game. The Cyclones have made 189 3-pointers this season, posting 10 or more made triples in seven games this season.
SHARE AND SCORE
Iowa State has reached the 25-assist threshold in five games this season (25, Nov. 20 vs. Southern; 25, Nov. 25 vs. Syracuse; 25, Dec. 3 vs. UNCW; 26, Dec. 17 vs. Troy; 27, Jan. 31 vs. Oklahoma State). The Cyclones rank 18th in NCAA DI and fourth in the Big 12 through 22 games with 18.5 assists per game. Addy Brown leads ISU with 111 assists this season, the most by a Cyclone freshman since Emily Ryan set the best single-season mark with 164 dimes. Emily Ryan (14) and Addy Brown (9) combined for 23 of ISU's 27 assists against Oklahoma State. It was the first time in the Fennelly era multiple Cyclones had posted nine or more assists in a single contest. In the last five seasons of Big 12 contests, Emily Ryan has posted 14 or more assists three times. Every other conference player has only managed the feat once. The last time Iowa State had a season of recording 25+ assists in multiple games was 2021-22 when they posted marks of 27 vs. Prairie View A&M (Dec. 19, 2021), 26 vs. West Virginia (Jan. 1, 2022) and 25 vs. TCU (Feb. 12, 2022).
