SERIES NOTES
Iowa State and Marquette meet for the sixth time in series history on Friday morning in Fort Myers. ISU won three straight contests against the Golden Eages from 1989-2001. Marquette head coach Cara Consuegra faced the Cyclones as a player for Iowa from 1997-2001. The Cyclones won each of the four Cy-Hawk matchups during that time.
LAST TIME OUT
No. 12 Iowa State used a 24-0 run during the second and third quarters to cruise to a 112-62 victory over Mercyhurst in Hilton Coliseum. ISU out-rebounded the Lakers, 46-19, and shot 54 percent from the floor, 40 percent from beyond the arc and 85 percent at the line. The Cyclones also assisted on 25 of 33 baskets and swiped a season-high 14 steals. Iowa State scored 51 points off the bench, a season high and the most since Nov. 29, 2004 when ISU scored 70 bench points against Purdue-Fort Wayne. Audi Crooks scored a game-high 27 points on 8-of-9 shooting from the floor. Arianna Jackson finished 4-of-6 from 3-point range, the second consecutive game she knocked four triples in.
