LAST TIME OUT
Iowa State defeated Eastern Illinois, 77-61, on Sunday to wrap up the opening week of regular season play. The Cyclones once again relied on strong post play, outscoring the Panthers 38-16 in the paint. ISU also minimized turnovers on Sunday, limiting the total to seven against EIU's 18.
Freshman Tjaša Turnšek led Iowa State in scoring again with her first 20-point performance on 8-of-14 shooting from the floor and 4-of-6 at the free throw line. Mya Babbitt continues to be a bright spot from beyond the arc, finishing 4-of-6 from 3-point range.
HILTON MAGIC
The Cyclones have been phenomenal at home during Bill Fennelly's tenure, compiling a 414-87 record (.828) in Hilton Coliseum, including a 207-9 (.958) mark against regular-season non-conference opponents. Iowa State has gone undefeated at home three times, most recently during the 2004-05 season.
ISU finished the 2025-26 non-conference home schedule with a spotless 9-0 record. It was the 24th time Iowa State has gone undefeated in Hilton against regular-season non-conference opponents and second straight under head coach Bill Fennelly. Iowa State's 15 wins at Hilton Coliseum in 2025-26 were tied for the seventh-most in a season in school history.
