Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State will face its third straight ranked foe Wednesday night when the Cyclones travel to No. 21 Texas A&M. ISU will take on the Aggies in a 7 p.m. tip at Reed Arena.
- The Cyclones are in the midst of a four-game stretch against teams ranked in the top 25 and a three-game stretch against teams in the Big 12 South division. Iowa State will return home from Texas A&M to play host to No. 9 Baylor on Feb. 23 at 11 a.m.
- Iowa State front court starters Toccara Ross and Nicky Wieben will miss the remainder of the 2007-08 season due to torn ACLs. Ross tore the ACL in her right knee against Minnesota and Wieben tore the ACL in her left knee at Texas. Ross is eligible for a redshirt, while Wieben is not.
- Iowa State will return its entire roster next season. Ross is ISU’s only senior and should be eligible for another year of competition after her season-ending injury.
- With a 76-50 win over Montana State, the Cyclones collected their 500th win in program history. They are now 512-480 overall. ISU is eight games shy of 1,000 contests in school history.
- Iowa State holds a 13-2 advantage in the all-time series with Texas A&M. The Cyclones won both meetings last season against the Aggies. ISU won, 61-54, in Ames on Feb. 14. Then the Cyclones earned a 57-51 win over the Aggies in the semifinals of the Big 12 Tournament. Each time the Aggies were ranked 13th in the nation.
- The Cyclones have won 17 straight at home against non-conference opponents. The loss to Oklahoma snapped an overall 15-game win streak for Iowa State in Hilton Coliseum.
- No. 21 Texas A&M enters the game on Wednesday with an 18-7 overall record and a 6-5 mark in the Big 12. Last week, the Aggies had the midweek off and then defeated Texas Tech at home, 70-56, on Sunday. They are tied for fifth in the Big 12 standings.
