UCF evened its Big 12 record on Saturday afternoon and is, perhaps expectedly, smack dab in the middle of the conference pack. The Knights (13-6, 4-4) sit in a three-way tie for eighth place, and they will reach the halfway point of the league schedule this upcoming weekend.

The UCF Knights are through five Big 12 basketball games, hitting the quarter mark of the league schedule. Here's what we've learned so far.

A big stretch awaits the Iowa State women, and they kicked it off with a dominating win over UCF on Saturday in Ames, 90-56. Four players reached double figures as the Cyclones (15-7, 6-3) knocked down 12 triples to earn the win at Hilton Coliseum.

The Iowa State basketball team is 17-3 overall and 7-2 in the Big 12 Conference entering Saturday's home game against Kansas State. The Cyclones are coming off a heartbreaking overtime loss at Arizona on Monday night,
