DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The Iowa State women's basketball team has dropped in The Associated Press poll heading into Wednesday night's game at Nebraska.

The Cyclones (13-5, 1-3) fell three spots to No. 23 in Monday's poll after losing to No. 6 Texas A&M at home on Saturday.

Iowa State has lost three of its last four games, though they beat the Huskers 64-43 in Ames.

Wednesday night's game will mark the final Big 12 trip to Lincoln for the Cyclones.

Nebraska is just 11-7, but the Huskers are 9-1 at home.
