Whoa, Columbia is good! 19-1 in their last 20 road games and 3-1 vs quality competition this season, with their only loss to Vanderbilt! I hope our women bring their A Game as I need something to feel good about after the football debacle. Let’s go State!

 

[acoustimac]

Yes…this isn’t going to be a show up and win game. We’re facing a team that can put you under if you don’t take care of business. Get ready for a first half battle that will also determine what the second half looks like.

 

[OWLCITYCYFAN]

This should be a heckuva good game! Three of Columbia's losses last season were to Princeton, which was loaded and played one of the most entertaining NCAA games I saw in 2022. Princeton’s All American, Abby Meyers, grad transferred to Maryland - there was brief discussion of trying to add her to the ISU roster but we can’t compete with Brenda! Anyway, Columbia might be favored to win the Ivy!

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Also, it’s “color it cardinal” for wbb and mbb. I wore a lot of red last night to football, most of which was never visible Will try a different set of red today.

 

[NWICY]

Welp time to show up and be loud.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Yeah, Molly in the Booth!

 

[CloniesForLife]

I like Columbia's logo and uniforms.

 

[clonebb]

Columbia’s coach…. Definitely would.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Having Kane as a backup is really nice to have and I love her hustle but we are much better on both ends with Soares. Like the energy on both ends and the ball movement on offense. Really making a point of getting Soares the ball in the paint is good to see.

[OWLCITYCYFAN]

First half couldn’t have gone much better, 55-31. The young women are firing on all cylinders, mixing beautiful post play with aesthetically pleasing step-back threes!

 

[BoxsterCy]

Wasn't expecting a rout. Playing well plus really hot from three pretty much buried a decent Lions team.

 

[Acylum]

1. Can Fennelly coach football?
2. Can Ash play for our men’s team?
3. Em is really, really good.

 

[Cycsk]

Sitting behind the basket. Impressed with the footwork of Soares. She is very agile.

Former Grinnell Tiger Sienna Durr playing for Columbia.

I wonder what happened to her? She was Ivy Freshman of the Year, Second Team All Ivy as a sophomore, lost year 3 to Covid season cancellation, then only started 19 games last season with scoring and rebounds halved. Something must have happened - injuries possibly…

Don't know. Maybe Columbia brought in better players? She still plays.

 

[OKClones]

I know we are winning by a large margin but our defense is very concerning in our last couple of games. Teams with a pulse are scoring almost at ease at times.

BF is not used to having a big that can block shots. Teams are able to cancel that a bit by moving the person she is guarding away from the paint. Maybe it will change when we play other teams that have true bigs that aren’t dangerous from outside.

 

[Cycsk]

I really liked the playing style of Columbia. Nice recruitment video here.
