They are not going to call the fouls for us tonight. There’s no sense in driving in the line every time just to get it blocked. Time to mix it up and do something else.

Think he played it way too conservatively with Donarski sitting the rest of the half with 2 fouls. We were very stagnant on offense.

They punched us in the mouth at the 4:30 mark and we started to panic. Not over but that was a killer final four minutes.

It’s plain and simple for how to win this. We have to start doing what we do best and that’s make threes. It’s pretty much that simple. Smith is going to do what she does but we picked a bad night to be abysmal from three.

Donarski’s knee buckle when she fouled that girl on the baseline. Can’t say it’s bad but it’s always scary.

I really don't care much for the ref comments. we are just not athletic and physical enough to stay with these type of teams. This is why we typically struggle making it past the sweet 16.
The only way ISU beats a team like Baylor is making like 13+ three pointers.
Refs were pretty iffy that first quarter but I agree for the most part the second quarter was fine. We got a second cheap one on Egbo that many here would have gone nuts about had they whistled the same on us.

Yea I was going to add an asterisk to say assuming she was healthy after that but everything I have read from people on site led me to believe she’s fine and was out because of fouls.

Not exactly sure.

Did she get her foot stepped on for the foul?
