Following a big-time emotional win over Oklahoma State, the Twister Sisters took on the Jayhawks of Kansas back in Ames. A big welcome back to coach Fennelly and also a big welcome back to the Cyclones’ defense in this one.
Iowa State was able to stifle Kansas’ attacks for most, if not all, of this one. Pair that with the return of 20/10 Ashley Joens and an Iowa State team that shot the ball from the 3-point line like the explosive teams of old and this one was set up to be a blowout from the beginning.
Joens led the way for the Cyclones with arguably her best performance of the season, knocking down 10 of her 19 shots (5 of 11 from deep) for 26 points and adding a season-high 15 rebounds.
