We could have a killer team and still have a handful of noncon losses. But the potential for a statement win is unreal. I’d rather see this schedule in 1-2 years.
Replacing OU and UT with neutral-site games against last year's NET #1 and #2.
Playing the metrics game.
We sure are, glad to see CBF is willing to challenge this team early. There may be some losses, but those tough early games should prepare us for the conference season.
Well I think we can be confident that no one in the Big 12 will have a SOS like ours next year...bring it on!
We only play 3 of the 4 final four teams of last year, including the champion, surly we could find a way to play NC state too and make it 4 of 4.
Dear Mr. Pollard,
I trust you’re enjoying your day, possibly contemplating our next big win. I’m reaching out as a fervent fan of the Iowa State women’s basketball team, and I’ve got a bone to pick.
I couldn’t help but notice our upcoming season’s schedule, and it seems we’re playing it a tad safe, don’t you think? We’re facing only three of last year’s Final Four teams. Now, I’m all for a good confidence booster, but too many “cupcakes” might give us a sugar rush instead of the robust competition we crave.
On another note, I’ve been pondering the absence of baseball at Iowa State. Sure, I might not buy any tickets, but bringing back the ol’ bat and ball could be a home run for school spirit, don’t you agree?

Overall, I like our home slate. Utah should be a good home game, and Baylor, WVU, and Arizona on the road will all be tough games. Finally, we don't have to go to Lubbock, so that is a win.
We will go to Tempe to the ASU game, since we have family that winter there. There is a large contingent of people from Kossuth county who followed the team closely last year because of Audi (they had watch parties). I have a feeling there may be a pro-ISU crowd for that game.

WBB coaches wanted to stay at 18 games. Plus, the season effectively ends a week earlier due to the split tournaments.
I got my wish. I lived in AZ back in the 80’s. Told my wife if we play AZ in Tucson we’re headed there and I’m catching up with old friends. Woo hoo!
I have really wondered if this would be a way to save money for the sports that don’t turn a profit. Or maybe schedule some Saturday couple headers with the men so it would be only one charter flight ect.
