FOUR THINGS
2 – 3-pointers needed by Ashley Joens to become Iowa State's all-time leader in career 3-pointers. Joens enters Wednesday's contest with 286 career treys, two behind the school record currently jointly held by Heather Ezell (2006-09) and Megan Taylor (1998-01) at 287.

6 – Lexi Donarski needs six points to become the 33rd player in Iowa State history to reach 1,000 career points.

54 – Career double-doubles for Ashley Joens, tied with Angie Welle (1999-02) for the most in school history and fourth in Big 12 Conference history.

873 – The Cyclones have made at least one 3-point field goal in an NCAA-record 873 consecutive games, a streak which encapsulates the entirety of the Bill Fennelly Era at Iowa State.

DOUBLE DOWN
At Texas Tech on Saturday, Emily Ryan added another unique feat to her also versatile cabinet of accomplishments, getting 15 points and a career-high 10 rebounds for her first career points-rebounds double-double. Ryan, who has also recorded two points-assists double-doubles this year, is the sixth Cyclone under head coach Bill Fennelly to have gotten a double-double two different ways in the same season.

LINE 'EM UP!
Iowa State is now No. 1 nationally in free throw shooting percentage at 80.9 percent as a team after an impressive 25-of-27 (92.6 percent) effort on Saturday at Texas Tech. The Cyclones' efforts at the line has not been a one-person effort, as ISU is the only team in the country with three players shooting 90 percent or better at the line with at least 20 makes apiece in Lexi Donarski (95.7 percent), Emily Ryan (95.2 percent) and Ashley Joens (90.6 percent).
