A cold night of shooting had the ISU women’s basketball team leaving Lubbock, Texas, with a loss.

The Cyclones (14-9, 5-7 Big 12) fell to the Lady Red Raiders (17-7, 5-7) 51-41. The loss drops Iowa State to be tied for sixth in the Big 12. 

Iowa State shot 27 percent from the field on the day. In the previous five games — four of them being wins — they were able to shoot 39 percent from the field.

More than half of the Cyclones’ field goal attempts were 3-pointers. They were only able to muster a shooting percentage of 19 percent from behind the arc after averaging 35 percent in the previous five games. 

Two players the Cyclones have depended on during their resurgence have been Lauren Mansfield and Hallie Christofferson. Against Texas Tech, they combined to shoot 1-14 from the field and 0-7 from 3-point range. 

The first time Iowa State played Texas Tech, they were able to shut down the Lady Red Raiders’ leading scorer, Kierra Mallard. This time, she injured her ankle and did not return.

This time, the Cyclones could not stop Texas Tech’s Chynna Brown. Brown lead all scorers with 19 points. She also added seven rebounds, three assists and a steal. 

Iowa State returns home to play Kansas on Wednesday. In their last meeting, the Jayhawks escaped in double overtime. Tip off is set for 7 p.m.
