    Hornacek's NBA career is very underrated. To paraphrase Bill James, players that do many things well are often underrated, while specialists are often overrated. Hornacek was the third best player on many teams that won a lot of games and made it to multiple conference finals and finals. Not to...

    Kelsey Joens in Portal

    Best of luck to Kelsey. She will always be a Cyclone in our hearts.

    Kelsey Joens in Portal

    I hope Kelsey finds joy and success at her next stop. She is one of my favorite Cyclones, and the team performed better when she was playing more minutes towards the end of the season. I think I understand why she's leaving, but she will definitely be missed on the floor next year.

    Why your town sucks #5: Marshalltown

    Did anyone mention Cap Anson? He was better than Wahoo Sam Crawford.

    WBB: Jada Williams to ISU

    Great news. The Cyclones will have a lot of experienced talent on next year's team, which should result in more consistent play and a much better record against good teams.

    Reese's Peanut Butter Cups vs. Reese's Eggs

    The eggs are much better because they have proportionally more peanut butter compared to chocolate.

    Lily Hansford Enters The Tranfer Portal

    Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw went to Montana and shot to 43% from three after struggling her last year at ISU. I hope Lily has a similar turnaround wherever she lands.

    Appreciation thread for the Women

    Other than Hansford, the Cyclones shot 37% from three which is good. Brown and AJ didn't shoot as well as last year, but I still think they are good shooters. I think turnovers, defense and the lack of a backup point guard were the biggest issues with this year's team.

    ***Official 2025 NCAA Tournament Thread***

    Clemson is probably the most undeserving #5 seed of all time. ACC really sucks.

    ***WBB: (11) Princeton vs. (11) Iowa State (Wed, 6:00)***

    Yes, and I've never seen a game with so many kicked ball violations.

    ***WBB: (11) Princeton vs. (11) Iowa State (Wed, 6:00)***

    Emily had a weird game. Got absolutely snuffed three times, four turnovers, didn't shoot well including missing a breakaway layup. But she really showed up in the second half with some huge plays and was a bit of a stat stuffer: 6 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocked shots. When we fell...

    Twister Sister Summary - Tomorrow is the Big Day. Where will ISU Land?

    I'm happy that Iowa State got in the tournament. I don't know anything about Princeton, but we've been playing well recently, and I expect that will continue. Let's go Cyclones!

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    I don't know if anyone can remember, but Keshon was playing like an All-American in the preseason before Curtis really took off. He could get to the paint basically anytime he wanted, was making something like 65% of his two-point field goals and was constantly getting to the free throw line...

    *** Official Selection Sunday Thread ***

    West Virgina being seeded behind North Carolina, Texas and Xavier is lunacy. I feel bad for their fans, and they might lose their head coach, too. Tough.

    I will be rooting for all the Big 12 teams except BYU. I hope those ************* embarrass themselves.
