The No. 17 Texas Tech Lady Raiders have fallen on hard times since starting the season 14-0 and dropped their fourth consecutive game Sunday afternoon in Ames, IA losing to the Iowa State Lady Cyclones 66-49.

The Lady Raiders (14-4, 2-4) trailed 29-23 at halftime and were plagued by poor shooting throughout the game going 15-56 from the field for a paltry 28% while Iowa State wasn't much better at 36% shooting.
