Iowa State Drops Fourth Straight at Colorado as Starter Addy Brown Is Ruled Out Indefinitely

Injuries to two starters have exposed Iowa State's lack of depth.

Overview

  • Colorado beat No. 19 Iowa State 68-62 on Jan. 14, leaving the Cyclones at 14-4 overall and 2-4 in Big 12 play.
  • The program announced junior forward Addy Brown is out indefinitely with a lower-body injury, and junior guard Arianna Jackson remains sidelined with a knee injury.
  • Nation-leading scorer Audi Crooks entered the game averaging 28.3 points but finished with 17 points, 15 rebounds and four blocks as Colorado frequently sent multiple defenders.
  • Turnovers and cooling perimeter shooting proved costly, with 17 giveaways turning into 19 Buffaloes points and the Cyclones hitting 30.8% from three after halftime.
  • The skid is Iowa State's first four-game losing streak since 2017-18, and the team next faces Cincinnati at home on Jan. 21 after a recent road loss to the Bearcats.
