    ***Iowa State vs. Truman State exhibition (Wednesday 6:30 pm)***

    I really like Brown and Bristow. I think both are going to be great here. It’s early and the competition isn’t great but Joens and Jackson impressed me more than I thought they would early on. Both have nice looking shots. Crooks is going to be force at times too.

    Cyclones add post transfer Isnelle Natabou

    Partially true. Still a lot of work to do to be a tournament team and losing 2 of your best players will always be alarming, but the comments about Bill being done and ISU needing to make a change we’re probably a little premature. BF has my support 100% and I’m hoping there’s no major drop off...

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    I don’t believe the transfer from juco to D1 counts against you. So to my knowledge, this would technically be her first time transferring? I could be wrong though.

    moving on to next years team

    I agree with everything you said. I basically just decided to go with Brown, Diew and Bristow because I believe that would be Iowa State’s most talented lineup that they could put on the floor as of now. I also don’t think the starting SG is on the roster right now. Ryan-transfer...

    moving on to next years team

    With the addition of Natabou, what’s everyone’s projection of the starting lineup right now? I think Bill still needs to work the portal before the lineup can be complete. Had Donarski and Fritz stayed, I think the roster would have been really solid. As of now I’d go: PG: Emily Ryan SG...

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    Years ago or not doesn’t really justify that behavior. It seemed like had chilled out a little bit after that but based off what people are saying and what I’ve heard, I think it’s clear he needs to keep modifying his behavior.

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    Jessica Schroll? Does anybody remember the game where she made a mistake on the court and during the timeout, Bill stormed out at her and started yelling at her to the point where she cried? If he’s willing to act like that in front of fans and her parents who were at the game, how does he act...

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    It’s devastating for sure. While we are Iowa State fans first, you get attached to these players and when they leave, it makes you hesitant to keep following it as closely because why won’t it just happen again?

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    So what’s the issue then? If she was put in the best possible position to succeed, why leave? I watched every women’s game, you could see her frustration many times throughout the year.

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    Lexi was a PG in HS and was viewed as a PG at the next level. She was only off the ball because of Emily.

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    I don’t think Bill did that enough though. Usually just at the end of the quarter/half situations. She was the best athlete on the team, she could have been utilized more often. She had a big role on the team, I’m just arguing that her role should have been even bigger.

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    She had the green light but they never really ran any offense to her and she never really got to play with the ball in her hands so I think she struggled to ever find her rhythm. Most of the offense was Ashley and Emily dribbling it around too much.

    Lexi Donarski entering transfer portal

    This absolutely sucks but not that surprising. I feel like Bill never utilized her enough on offense and she always seemed frustrated with certain players taking all the shots. Also, I won’t say her name but I just played basketball with a now former player who said a lot of the players do not...

    Twister Sister Summary - End of season arrives in jarring style

    A frustrating end to a frustrating season. After the Big 12 tournament, I started believing again that this team could go on a little run in the tournament. I thought the game drastically changed when they called 3 fouls in a row (2 on Lexi) at the end of the 3rd quarter. What I’ve noticed...

    FINALLLY!!!!........... JT ROCK.........

    Tough loss. JT Rock had a solid game. That was the first time I’ve watched him live. Props to him if he has to deal with teams always playing that dirty against him. He’s trying to run down the court to get back on defense and people purposely cut him off and bump him. Love seeing him knock down...

    Omaha Biliew Commits to Iowa State!

    If the head to head matchup matters, then Omaha should have won it over Sandfort because in the 3 games, Omaha averaged 23 points and Sandfort averaged 15 points. Omaha’s game wasn’t impacted negatively when Sandfort guarded, on the flip side, Sandfort played much worse against Omaha. Omaha...

    Are we even a tournament team?

    Some fans get too excited to enjoy watching a meltdown. That means the team you like is collapsing and losing consistently.
