I don’t see any reason we can’t win this. Not that it will be easy. We need the same swagger that we had at TTU

As I see it, TCU has a slight advantage at three positions:
Olivia Miles > Jada Williams
Donovan Hunter > A.J.
Marta Suarez > Addy Brown

ISU has a distinct advantage at one position:
Crooks > Silva (coming on fast)

Unknown, but gut tells me TCU:
Taylor Bigby > Kenzie Hare / Beatty

Going against my own logic, ISU “emerges” with the type of game we’ve expected all season and wins 78-70.

This to me is a pick'em that I almost expect us to win. Still, TCU is undefeated at home this year. Best defense vs best offense and offense doesn't "travel" as well as D so maybe I should be less optimistic!

Nobody in the Big 12 is very consistent or that great. The best teams are borderline Top16.

I don’t believe I’ve made a prediction for ISU to lose this entire season, but that’s fine. I think Donovan Hunter is the real engine that drives TCU - if AJ can outplay her, that’ll be a boost. My main hope is for Kenzie Hare to shine as she’s shown signs recently - she’s an enigma - hasn’t done much for ISU but was a star at Marquette - scored 18 in a game versus UCONN - we need that Hare!

Sorry…I thought it was you who predicted they would lose a game a week or so ago and then they won!

And yes, you’re right…the performances of those two will be critical. I’m anxious to see what Brown does on offense.
 
TCU will want it but I think we're a little more 'desperate' for it. Win and you start establishing a narrative we're a different team with Addy back and those losses don't mean so much.

I like owlcitycyfan’s pick. Will take a total team game with good bench support to do it. This one is as high profile as it gets in the conference as at full strength these are the two best teams.

Actually it's a bit of a pressure game for them. !st place is at stake as well as keeping a top 16 spot and hosting. At least we aren't getting their seniors game which will be vs Baylor.

How big of a deal is a senior day when the majority of the roster has been on campus about 6 months.
 
Just saw the line shift in the wrong way for this game. Do we have someone out (besides Paulk)?
 
I'm sure this SEC bull**** will go into OT.

Also sure these teams will use every one of these six timeouts remaining in these last 45 seconds.

This is so dumb, the broadcast will miss the entire first quarter.
