The Lowdown

Iowa State (12-4, 3-2 Big 12) traveled down to Manhattan, Kansas looking to sweep the Wildcats in the season series. What the Cyclones came away with was nothing short of their goal.

Iowa State defeated Kansas State (11-5, 1-4 Big 12) 79-59 on Jan. 17.

After starting out the game just 1-of-9 from behind the arc, the Cyclones were able to find their groove. Emily Durr and Kidd Blaskowsky combined for three three-point plays leading up to halftime to give the Cyclones a two point lead heading into the half.

The Cyclones finished the game with 14 three-pointers, shooting over 50 percent from the floor. They were able to break away from the Wildcats in the second half, giving them the season sweep.
