Iowa State returns to Hilton Coliseum in hopes to end a two-game skid, welcoming the Kansas Jayhawks. The 13th ranked Cyclones sit at 16-3, 5-2 in Big 12 play while Kansas enters at 12-4, 3-3 in the Big 12. With a win tonight, the Jayhawks could match a season-high for Big 12 wins in the last 10 seasons. Cyclones start Emily Ryan, Lexi Donarksi, Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw, Ashley Joens, and Morgan Kane - a lineup that appears to be what Bill Fennelly will roll with for the rest of the season.
The Cyclones' offensive woes continued early in the game, starting just 3-9 in the first 5 minutes of the game.
