When Iowa State and Missouri met in the ’70s, the Tigers dominated, winning every match. When the two take the court on Saturday, the Cyclones take on history. The ISU athletic department is hosting a 1970s day, and fans are encouraged to come in their best retro gear.

In the present, the Tigers (7-7, 1-2 Big 12) are coming off their worst Big 12 loss since 1997, falling at the hands of No. 23 Kansas State.

On the other hand, No. 24 Iowa State (13-1, 3-0 Big 12) is on a roll fresh off its dominating performance against Kansas on Wednesday in a 70-37 win. It was the Jayhawks’ second-lowest point total in school history.

The win gave the Cyclones their 10th-straight victory, which is currently the fourth longest national streak.

“We’ve played really hard, we’ve won games in tough environments, we’ve played hard and we’ve done all the things good teams do,” said ISU head coach Bill Fennelly. “To have any winning streak in Division I basketball is a good thing.”

Anne O’Neil leads the team in scoring, averaging 17.9 points. Iowa State also has three other players averaging double digits in points; Katie Robinette, Megan Ronhovde and Mary Fox average 14.4, 11 and 10 points, respectively.

O’Neil, Robinette and Fox lead a strong senior class, and sophomore Ronhovde said all five seniors have contributed to the Cyclones’ success this season.

“The senior leadership on this team is amazing,” Ronhovde said. “Anne, Katie, Mary, Tracy [Paustian], and Lisa [Kriener] all do an excellent job, especially during crunch time.”

Missouri has won the last four contests in the series by an average of 17 points and the previous two games in Hilton Coliseum by an average of 25 points.

“Missouri has played us tough the last couple of years, so this is a big game for us,” Ronhovde said.

The Tigers handed Iowa State their worst home defeat of the series on Jan. 19, 2003. Missouri rolled to an 86-55 victory.

Transfer Tiffany Brooks leads Missouri in scoring, despite only starting team practices this January.

In her five games with the Tigers she is averaging 15.4 points and has 10 steals.

Missouri has two other players scoring in double-digits, with C’stelle N’Garsanet averaging 13.5 points, and LaToya Bond adding 12.5 points per game. N’Garsanet, a 6-3 center, also leads the Tigers in rebounding with 6.5 boards a game, and has 25 blocks.
