WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

Stanford's Lauren Betts, former #1 recruit, entering the portal was the big talk of the day, obviously.

Saw someone on another board note that she's a HS classmate of Iowa's Addison O'Grady. :oops:

Is the Cy-Hawk game in Ames for WBB really going to fill Hilton? I am not sure this game will have the same interest for Hawk fans as football. It's just one of 30 some games. Been wondering a little about this regarding their game in Mpls next season and whether that would get an attendance bump from fans driving from Iowa or if a bump would be from Minnesota peeps wanting to see Clark. Either way it would be fun to see a big crowd in The Barn again even if it made it harder for me to grab a ticket. During COVID I haven't been to game at Hilton or Williams and hope to get back this next season. I haven't seen Hawks play in person since Gustafson vs Gophers (Gophers haven't been very good) and the ISU home game versus the Kathleen Doyle Hawks.

If a bunch of casual WBB fans want to fill Hilton I don't see that as a bad thing since we will also have a shot at impressing them with our young players. I'd rather see a full house of 14K than a crowd of 5K that's reported as 10K. 5000 or 6000 is great in WBB but a crowd over twice that is awesome.

CC has fueled the Iowa fan base. They continually fill Carver so if ISU fans make up 9,000 it would be easy for the other 5,000 grand to be filled by Iowa fans.

Would be nuts to feel like we are on the road in our own building.

Damn. Just saw Iowa is pausing to try and figure out how to deal with demand for ticket sales next year. I might have to watch Gophers play Rutgers rather than Gophers play Iowa if Hawk fans can't get tickets at home they'll roadtrip to Mpls and hit Mall of America and all of the Mpls bars!
 
if the A.D. is smart they will premium price it like they do for FB. won't affect us season ticket holders at all. Drake used to do it all the time for MBB not sure about WBB just can't remember haven't went down to that game for a while. Put a $15 or $20 price tag on that game make the hawks pay to get in.

Iowa fans will easily pay that. We need to get the word out to the ISU fanbase that if you only go to one ISU wbb game this is it. We need to make sure it's more of 11,000 to 3,000 than 9.000 to 5,000.
 
We need to do something about the Iowa game next year from a ticket perspective. We technically have a sellout with the wnit double header back in the day. If we have a sellout next year because 40% of crowd is Iowa fans I may vomit in my seat.


Just invalidate/refund tickets just before the game like the Iowa AD did before their men's game with Illinois.

Tara has 3 NCAA titles and 13 Final Fours, along with 27 Pac 12 regular season titles. The screams are drowned out by non-stop cheering!

^Truth. She is turning 70 this summer. She maybe should have retired at 68 after her 2021 championship and gone out on top like a champion but maybe thought she was on the cusp of a run with Brink and other recruits. I have heard she doesn't actually do much these days, lets the school name and her reputation do the recruiting and her assistants run the team. Even some seemingly wild speculation, that I do not discount entirely considering her personality and age, is that she will not retire while Geno is still coaching so he can't pass her wins total.
 
Van Lith is listed as a "do not contact". She either know where she is going or has her own short list.

Two years left if she wants a 5th. Can't see anywhere but an elite team or home to the west coast. Would be crazy to see Mulkey grab her just to see the heads explode here on CF. Would probably pretty much guarantee LSU in the Final Four again. Only thing is Mulkey has a freshman PG, either #1 or #2 recruit based on the ranker, coming in.

BTW, I think she's going to Indiana and take Grace Bergers spot. Hoosiers are an Adidas school and she has a big NIL with Adidas. Throw in a likely Final Four with this Top 10 team and I don't see another landing spot.

Help me understand this. are the womens tickets on sale now or are they taking requests or how do they know about the demand? should I be ordering my ISU womens tickets now. explain what is going on please.
 
What if a player has a big Adidas NIL deal and the school recruiting her has a big Nike deal. :oops:
My guess is player will only go to school that aligns with their shoe NIL deal. After all, they hope to continue their shoe deal after college as part of their pro marketing deals.
