For the second time in as many games, the Cyclones faced off against a No. 3 team after upsetting then-No. 3 Texas in Hilton Coliseum on Jan. 10.

This time, however, the Cyclones (11-4, 2-2 Big 12) were unable to pull off the upset against the new No. 3 ranked Baylor Bears (15-1, 4-0 Big 12).

Baylor showed why they were the No. 3 team in the country and the top team in the Big 12, as they rolled up a dominating 79-47 victory against the Cyclones.

Iowa State missed 16 consecutive shots at one point in the first half, which allowed the Bears to run out to a 27-5 lead early in the game. It didn’t get much better from that point, as the Cyclones struggled to ever truly get back into the game.

Against Texas, the Cyclones hit a three as time expired in the first half, giving the Cyclones momentum going into the locker room and helping to spark a huge second-half comeback.

This time, it was Baylor who hit the buzzer beating three-pointer just before halftime. The Cyclones went into the break down 19 and it never got much closer.

Iowa State was able to cut the deficit to 15 at one point, but Baylor eventually pulled away and routed the Cyclones by 32 points.

The Cyclones’ offense was led by junior Kidd Blaskowsky and freshman Byranna Fernstrom, who combined for 34 of the Cyclones’ 47 points.

Blaskowsky finished with 20 points, her third career game of scoring 20 points or more. The junior hit a season high six three-pointers to lead the Cyclones offensively.

Fernstrom was the second leading scorer for the Cyclones, with 14 points on 3-of-9 shooting and 7-of-8 shooting from the free throw line.

The rest of the Cyclones struggled offensively, as the next leading scorer only had five points.

The majority of the team struggled shooting from the field, as Nikki Moody shot 1-of-13, Seanna Johnson shot 1-of-9 and Brynn Williamson never got her offense started and was held scoreless.

The Cyclones will be back in action next Jan. 17, when they take on Kansas State in Manhattan, Kan.
