I'm nervous about this game. We could win by 30. We could lose by 20.

Don't see how we could lose - we have the revenge motive after last year's beat-down at IC, and Iowa has not looked good this year. They've lost four games, including at home to Mich. on Sunday.

Sounds like Prins is likely out. Post depth could be a huge problem for us. Iowa is a decent three-point shooting team, and our perimeter shooting defense isn't all that good right now.

Please don't get me nervous. I'm counting on a big win. Iowa's 3 pt. shooting was awful against a mediocre (at best) Michigan team. They couldn't throw it in the ocean. One of their wins was a nail-biter against Ivy League Columbia.
A decent perfomance from the Sisters is all we need.
I predict a big crowd too.

Can't disagree much with Coach:

Iowa State vs Iowa at HILTON--not much better than that!

I have an uneasy feeling about this game. It seems like we should have an advatage being at home and with them starting 3 frosh. I have a feeliong that Printy will be tough as nails and without Prins available, Morgan Johnson bothers me. Pop and Z will have to stay out of foul trouble, and Z gives up a few more inches in the post.

We need Bolte to step up and have that breakout type of game that could propel her into being the studette she can be the rest of her career.

Hilton is filling up - I think we'll have a larger crowd than I expected, considering the snow and ice. Maybe fans are tired of being cooped up for two days...

He also talked a bit about Nesbitt not being recruited at ISU. He called her a good person and a good player. He said it wasn't personal or talent or anything -- ISU just didn't need another guard. He mentioned that this was of course before Rockall and Yackley left.

That show is an "Eastern Iowa" talk show. They don't talk must ISU and they'd be the first to admit it. I think it is based out of Cedar Rapids. It is not filmed in Des Moines.
