Iowa State Cyclones Set to Face Texas Longhorns at Moody Center in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Iowa State Cyclones prepare to take on the Texas Longhorns at the Moody Center in Austin, fans can anticipate a competitive clash in women's basketball. The Cyclones have been showing promising trends, with their recent performances indicating a strong upward trajectory.
In their last game against Kansas State Wildcats, the Cyclones secured a victory with 67 points over the Wildcats' 56. This win was characterized by solid defensive play and efficient scoring, as evidenced by their 44 percent shooting from two-point range and an impressive 78 percent from the free-throw line. Their rebounding was also notable, pulling down 42 rebounds compared to Kansas State's 37.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for Iowa State; they faced a tough challenge against Oklahoma Sooners where they scored an admirable 79 points but fell short by just three points. Despite this loss, there were positive takeaways including an excellent free-throw percentage of nearly 89 percent and maintaining a decent field goal percentage of around 38 percent.
The team showed resilience bouncing back from that narrow defeat when they hosted West Virginia Mountaineers at James H. Hilton Coliseum. The Cyclones dominated with a score of 70 to West Virginia's paltry 50 points. Their performance was underpinned by an exceptional two-point shooting percentage of around 60 percent and dominance on the boards with an overwhelming total of 55 rebounds.
The upcoming game at Moody Center presents another opportunity for Iowa State to showcase their strengths—particularly their rebounding prowess and scoring efficiency inside the paint. Fans should look out for how well they manage turnovers and capitalize on fast-break opportunities which could be crucial factors in this matchup.
The game is scheduled for January 15th at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Fans can catch all the action live on ESPN2 (channel number:209) as both teams vie for supremacy on court.
