No. 10 Iowa State opens Big 12 Conference play in Hilton Coliseum on Sunday, hosting Kansas for its only meeting with the Jayhawks this season. The Cyclones have won three of their last four Big 12 season openers.
FOUR THINGS
4 – Iowa State junior Addy Brown recorded the fourth triple-double in program history against Norfolk State (Nov. 16), tallying 11 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists. It marks the first time in over a decade that a Cyclone achieved the feat.
10 – The Cyclones were picked 10th in the Week 7 Associated Press national poll. It marks the fourth time this season and 63rd week in program history that ISU has been ranked as a Top 10 team, all in the Bill Fennelly era.
14 – The Cyclones' "Big 3" of Addy Brown, Audi Crooks and Jada Williams rank in the top three of the Big 12 in 14 statistical categories, leading five (NCAA Stats).
78 – Audi Crooks has scored in double figures in 78 straight games. It marks the longest streak by a Cyclone women's basketball player and longest active streak in NCAA women's basketball. Crooks also holds the longest streak by a Big 12 women's basketball player since Brittney Griner's 116-game run from 2010-2013.
SERIES NOTES
Iowa State has won 17 of the last 19 matchups with Kansas. The Cyclones are 34-9 (.791) under Bill Fennelly when scoring 65 or more points against the Jayhawks. For the first time since the 1981-82 season, the Cyclones and Jayhawks will not meet more than once during regular season play. Last season, ISU earned the sweep of Kansas with wins in Hilton Coliseum (78-64, Jan. 1) and Allen Fieldhouse (93-80, Feb. 15).
LAST TIME OUT
No. 10 Iowa State finished its regular season non-conference slate unbeaten with an 81-53 victory over in-state foe UNI. The win also marked a clean sweep of in-state opponents for the Cyclones. Addy Brown led ISU with 28 points with 12 rebounds and was 4-of-7 from 3-point range. Alisa Williams (11) and Jada Williams (10) also finished in double figures while the nation's leading scorer, Audi Crooks, was out with an injury. Alisa Williams and Lilly Taulelei ate up 40 minutes in the low post with Crooks sidelined, finishing a combined 8-of-11 from the floor for 19 points. Kenzie Hare finished 3-of-4 from beyond the arc for nine points, her sixth game this season shooting 50 percent or better from deep.
CYCLONES GARNER PRESEASON ATTENTION
Iowa State's trio of Addy Brown, Audi Crooks and Jada Williams has received national attention in the preseason, appearing on several watch lists and collecting preseason honors. Brown and Crooks were voted to the All-Big 12 Preseason Team and appeared on the Naismith Trophy Preseason, USBWA Ann Meyers Drysdale Award and Wooden Award watch lists. When the Naismith Starting 5 award watch lists were announced, Williams (Nancy Lieberman Award), Brown (Katrina McClain Award) and Crooks (Lisa Leslie Award) were all three selected to their respective position 20-woman watch lists.
CHANGING OF THE (POINT) GUARD
Following the graduation of five-year starting point guard Emily Ryan, Iowa State signed Arizona transfer Jada Williams to direct the Cyclone offense in 2025-26. Williams arrives in Ames following two seasons with the Wildcats where she averaged 12.7 points per game as a sophomore, increasing her average to 13.4 points per contest during conference play.
Through 12 games as a Cyclone, the Kansas City, Missouri native has averaged 10.8 points, 3.4 rebounds and 7.3 assists per contest. Her assist rate has increased by over 3.5 dimes per game from last season and she has matched her 2024-25 assist total. She finished 8-of-13 from the floor and 5-of-5 at the free throw line against Indiana for her first 20-plus point game as a Cyclone, just two off her career high with 23 points. The 5-8 guard finished with her first career double-double against Valparaiso (Nov. 12) with 11 points and 10 assists, a career high. Williams tallied 11 points and posted a career-high 12 assists against Iowa (Dec. 10) for her fourth double-double of the season. She ranks 38th in NCAA DI women's basketball with her double-double count this season.
OFF TO THE RACES
The Cyclones have started the 2025-26 campaign with a 12-0 record, the best start to a season in over a decade. ISU's 12-0 start to the season is the fourth time in program history, all in the Bill Fennelly era, the Cyclones have remained unbeaten through the first 12 regular season games. With a win against Kansas, Iowa State would move to 13-0, the second-best start to a season in program history.
