Iowa State was quick to say that its miserable shooting performance in the NCAA Tournament had nothing to do with some wonky rims in Greensboro, North CarolinaMARCH 23, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Finishes season with poor outing Kalscheur produced 12 points (4-14 FG, 1-8 3Pt, 3-5 FT), one rebound and two steals in 36 minutes during Friday's 59-41 loss to Pittsburgh.
Impact Kalscheur recorded one of his worst shooting performances of the season in this tournament-ending loss. The fifth-year senior averaged a career-high 12.9 points per game during the 2022-23 campaign, though he shot just 40 percent from the field overall. Either way, it appears Kalscheur has fully exhausted his collegiate eligibility following three seasons at Minnesota followed by two campaigns with Iowa State.

Redeems himself Kalscheur logged 24 points (9-15 FG, 6-11 3Pt), four rebounds, two steals and one assist across 39 minutes during Iowa State's 78-72 win Thursday against Baylor.

Iowa State and Baylor were scheduled to play each other again as quarter-finalists of the 2023 Big 12 Tournament. Kalscheur was ISU's best scorer Thursday.

Impact Kalscheur averaged 14.8 points during the second half of February. Most of them were using three-pointers. Including only three-pointers, Kalscheur would have averaged 10.5 points on a 37.8 field goal percentage.

Jacob Groves led Oklahoma with 16 points as the Sooners knocked off No. 23 Iowa State 61-50 on SaturdayFEBRUARY 25, 2023 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Scores in double digits again Kalscheur recorded 12 points (4-11 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 1-2 FT) and one rebound in 34 minutes during Saturday's 61-50 loss to Oklahoma.
Impact Kalscheur scored in double figures for the third consecutive game after coming off of one of the roughest scoring stretches of the season, averaging just 7.3 points while shooting 28.1 percent from the floor over the previous four contests. However, the 6-foot-4 shooting guard's efficiency still has yet to improve, as he's converted just 28.2 percent of his 13.0 field-goal tries per game over the last three games. Kalscheur isn't likely to be a worthwhile fantasy consideration over the Cyclones' final three regular-season games unless his field-goal efficiency significantly improves moving forward.

Scoring slid hits three games Kalscheur produced six points (2-12 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Saturday's 64-56 loss to Oklahoma State.
Impact Kalscheur has been the Cyclones' top scorer while starting all but one of the last 15 games, averaging 15.0 points to go along with 2.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists and 1.3 steals per game. However, the fifth-year guard has now logged single-digit points in each of the past three games, as he's shot just 30.8 percent from three and 24.0 percent overall during this stretch. Kalscheur has shot 39.3 percent from beyond the arc and 45 percent from the floor overall since becoming a starter, which provides optimism that he'll break out of the scoring slump at some point. Iowa State's next game will come Wednesday against a TCU squad that lost 72-68 without two of its usual starters versus No. 14 Baylor on Saturday.

Hits four three-pointers in loss Kalscheur totaled 14 points (5-13 FG, 4-9 3Pt), one rebound, two assists and one steal over 35 minutes during Saturday's 78-61 loss to Missouri.
Impact Kalscheur remained hot from beyond the arc, as he's now 50 percent of his 6.7 three-point attempts per game over the last six contests. However, he cost the Cyclones with a season-high six turnovers during this blowout defeat. Kalscheur hasn't provided much aside from his scoring this season with 2.2 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game. He's still finished with double-digit points in all but one of 10 starts this season, averaging 17.3 points over these contests. Kalscheur's scoring efficiency should continue to buoy his considerable fantasy value moving forward.

Continues career-best stretch Kalscheur registered 23 points (7-16 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 5-6 FT), six rebounds and one steal across 38 minutes during Saturday's 62-60 loss to Kansas.
Impact Kalscheur has been on a scoring tear since stepping back up into a starting role over six of the last seven games. Over this span, the fifth-year guard has averaged 17.3 points, 3.3 rebounds, 2.3 assists and 2.0 steals while playing 35.6 minutes per game. He's also converting 51.7 percent of his 12.4 field-goal attempts as well as 45.5 percent of his 6.3 tries from beyond the arc. Kalscheur has always provided consistent production on the defensive end, though he's now averaged a career-high 12.5 points this season as a result of his increased role. It's unlikely Kalscheur will be able to maintain this jump-up in efficiency, though he may need to in order for Iowa State to come away with a win against Texas on Tuesday.

Logs another splash performance Kalscheur supplied 25 points (10-14 FG, 5-6 3Pt), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks and one steal in 32 minutes during Tuesday's 84-50 victory over Texas Tech.
Impact Kalscheur continued his increased production since stepping up into a starting role with forward Aljaz Kunc (finger) sidelined. The senior guard has now averaged 18.0 points by converting 54 percent of his 12.5 field-goal attempts per game during four Big 12 contests. His increased playing time during this span (35.5 minutes per game) has led him to take 3.0 more field-goal attempts and 0.9 more three-point tries than he did over the first 11 games of the season. While Kalscheur has still been a streaky shooter from beyond the arc, his 12.5 field-goal attempts and 6.3 three-point tries per contest should continue to net a consistent scoring role alongside Jaren Holmes.
