There is a hole in coach Bill Fennelly’s lineup heading into Wednesday’s game against Oklahoma.

The Cyclones have used a pair of different starting lineups this season, with guard TeeTee Starks and forward Heather Bowe rotating in the last starting spot over the past several games. Now, after Bowe came off the bench and scored a career-high 16 points with 10 rebounds against Kansas on Sunday, Iowa State may make another change in the lineup.

“It’ll be Heather or Meredith [Burkhall],” Fennelly said. “TeeTee will stay in the starting lineup. We’re gonna go with four guards.”

Burkhall, who has started every game for Iowa State this year, struggled against Kansas. She played 15 minutes, posting four points and five rebounds.

At 6 foot 3, Burkhall is the tallest player in Iowa State’s rotation.

Iowa State’s bench stepped up in the win against Kansas. Along with Bowe’s 16 points and 10 rebounds, Emily Durr scored 14 points and played strong defense. It was a much-needed bounceback game for Durr, who had scored just three points in Iowa State’s first three Big 12 games.

“I think it’s just confidence,” Durr said. “It was good to see the ball go in the hoop [against Kansas] and get my defense back. The last couple games I’ve kinda been bad on defense so I haven’t gotten the minutes.

“It’s just good to have a game like that, especially with Oklahoma coming up.”

Durr also has shown the ability to handle point guard duties, which gives Jadda Buckley a rare chance to rest.

Freshman Adriana Camber has also seen an increase in playing time recently. She played a season-high 19 minutes against Texas and hit three 3-pointers at Texas Tech.

“She comes in and puts up some good minutes off the bench,” Buckley said. “When she comes in she’s looking to shoot and she’s knocking down her shots, which is something we need throughout conference play.”

Fennelly said he wants to find minutes for Camber.

“[Camber] is a kid that practices really hard,” Fennelly said. “She’s earning more and more time. She’s athletic, and she has the ability to stretch the defense and make a three, which we need.

“Like most young players, she shows signs of defending but she’s got a lot of work to do. That’s a normal thing for a freshman at this level.”
