No. 10 Iowa State Faces Houston on New Year’s Eve in Big 12 Road Test
HOUSTON, TX – The No. 10 Iowa State Cyclones (13-0, 1-0 Big 12) will travel to Houston to face the Cougars (6-6, 0-1 Big 12) at the Fertitta Center on Wednesday, December 31, 2025, at 1:00 p.m. CT. This marks Iowa State’s first Big 12 road game of the season and the first meeting between head coaches Bill Fennelly and Matthew Mitchell.
The Cyclones are looking to continue their undefeated season, having last defeated Kansas 79-76 with a buzzer-beater three-pointer from Kenzie Hare. Standout performances from Audi Crooks, who posted a game-high 41 points, Addy Brown, who played all 40 minutes with 16 points, and Jada Williams, who recorded her fifth double-double of the season, fueled the victory.
Iowa State holds a 2-0 series lead against Houston, having won both previous encounters by double digits since the Cougars joined the Big 12 in 2023. The Cyclones’ “Big 3” of Brown, Crooks, and Williams have garnered significant preseason attention and are ranked highly in multiple Big 12 statistical categories.
Cyclone fans can watch the game on ESPN+ or listen on the Cyclone Radio Network.
