Iowa State Cyclones Set to Host Troy Trojans at James H. Hilton Coliseum in Women's Basketball Showdown
As the Iowa State Cyclones prepare to welcome the Troy Trojans to the James H. Hilton Coliseum, fans are buzzing with anticipation for what promises to be an exhilarating women's basketball game. The Cyclones have been on a rollercoaster this season, but their performance has shown that they are a force to be reckoned with on their home court.
In their recent matchup against North Dakota State Bison on December 10th, the ISU team displayed a dominant performance, securing an impressive 89-59 victory. Their offensive prowess was evident as they shot an outstanding 56 percent from the field and a remarkable 67 percent from two-point range. The Cyclones also showcased their defensive capabilities by out-rebounding their opponents with a total of 44 rebounds and maintaining a solid assists turnover ratio of 1.82.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing for ISU; they faced a tough challenge against the fourth-ranked Iowa Hawkeyes earlier in December where they fell short with a score of 58-67. Despite this setback, there were still positives to take away from that game – such as maintaining close quarters throughout and fighting hard against higher-ranked opposition.
The upcoming game against Troy is expected to be another testament to ISU's resilience and ability to bounce back after defeat. With home advantage on their side and having demonstrated strong scoring consistency in previous games – especially within the paint – there is every reason for Cyclone fans to approach this match-up with confidence.
The Trojans should not be underestimated though; any opponent can pose challenges and it will be crucial for ISU’s defense to step up once again if they wish to secure victory.
Looking ahead at what’s coming up next for Iowa State Cyclones women’s basketball team: mark your calendars for December 17th at 1:00 PM when they face off against Troy Trojans right here at James H. Hilton Coliseum in Ames, IA. Fans who cannot attend can follow along through local sports networks or online broadcasts available via college sports streaming platforms.
