The unbeaten start to Big 12 play for the Iowa State women ended last night at Texas Tech. The Lady Raiders connected on 13 three pointers and beat the 24th ranked Cyclones 71-63. Tech led by as many as 14 in the final quarter. The Cyclones shot only 39 percent, including six-of-27 from three-point range.

That’s Cyclone coach Bill Fennelly who says Texas Tech played well.

The loss dropped ISU to 5-1 in the Big 12. They will move to 6-1 after it was announced Saturday’s game at home against TCU has been cancelled due to a lack of players for the Horned Frogs. Big 12 rules mandate TCU forfeit the game. It means the Cyclones will have a week off.
