Rebounding issues

spierceisu
The past few games our rebounding has been a weakness to say the least. It seems like opponents are constantly getting 2 or 3 shots from offensive boards and it is getting maddening. I think in the Houston game there was a time that Houston got 4 shots in a row against us and luckily it none of them went it. It seemed like Tech had super large number of them that led to open threes that they nailed. When I watch it appears to my untrained eye that our guys seem like they are stuck in the mud and just watch the ball rather than going after it. I know after long shot misses that leads to longer rebounds but it looks like our bigs are crowded under the basket and watching as the other team's guards come flying in for tip outs or boards. I get offensive boards happen a lot on three point shots but it sure seems like we are not being as agressive going after the ball as we should and we wait for the ball to fall in our laps.

Big XII WBB Tournament - Who’s Attending?

OWLCITYCYFAN
January and February were a bear this year, both weather-wise and work-related. We just finished launching a new work management system and I have time to breathe!

I’m giving serious consideration to attending the WBB tournament for the first time in years. I found all session tickets for $156, though I haven’t pulled the trigger. My wife has conflicts and my OSU alum work buddy is mulling it over.

In the interim, who’s going to KC? Where do you stay and where do ISU fans congregate? Do you attend all sessions or just ISU games? TIA

Twister Sister Summary - the Dominant Offense Returns

It was a battle as expected. The KSU crowd showed up as did both teams. We got to see Audi Crooks go into beast mode in a big win.

TSS – That Dominant Offense Returns

No one would know earlier in the season that the last game of the regular season would have such implications. Both teams needed a win to get a first round bye in the Big 12 tourney. That’s a…

Big 12 Wrestling Tournament

I
We are headed to Tulsa for the Big 12's. We have never been before and don't know what to expect or what to do in Tulsa while we are there. We are staying close to the BOK Center but have heard there is not much of a bar/restaurant scene in the area. We are leaving early Thursday morning from central Iowa so will get down there at a decent time. Where do Cyclone fans hang out? What should we put on our list of things to do and places to eat/drink. We prefer local places when we travel. Thanks for any information from people who have been to Tulsa and Big 12's.

RECRUITING: Iowa State’s 2027 basketball class: Where things stand now

JacksonLPence
With the 2025–26 season entering its final stretch, Iowa State’s staff is beginning to narrow its focus on the 2027 recruiting class. The Cyclones already hold one major commitment and are in the thick of several high‑level recruitments. With four signees already in the 2026 class and the transfer portal remaining a yearly factor, TJ Otzelberger will be selective about who joins the program alongside the early commit.

Twister Sister Summary - Another Rematch, Another Nail-biter?

Here we are. Last game of the regular season. After this everything is an elimination game. This is a rematch of a very tough foul fest with KState. What to expect? Who knows.

TSS – Another Rematch, Another Nail-biter?

This is a simple one to preview. We just saw KState play ISU down to the wire at Hilton in the last two weeks. Going into Manhattan could be far more interesting (that’s a bad word for nerve wracki…
