LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Bridget Carleton scored 33 points on 11-of-17 shooting, moving up two spots in Iowa State's all-time top 10 scoring last, and the No. 25 Cyclones defeated Kansas 82-73 on Saturday.
Kristin Scott had a perfect day shooting going 7 for 7 with three 3-pointers for 17 points for the Cyclones (12-2, 2-0 Big 12). Carleton moved up to seventh on the career list with her 29th 20-point game.
Iowa State, which has won six straight, outscored the Jayhawks 22-12 in the second quarter to lead 39-29 at the half. The Cyclones were 5 of 10 from 3-point range and shot 57 percent overall in the first half.
