With the big MBB win over #1 on the road and Campbell dumping us for another school I almost forgot we had a WBB today.

Going to be another stat stuffer and not much more.

@acoustimac has a short preview.

Will Jimmy Rogers be there?

His kids, especially daughter, might actually enjoy it although I doubt it's a big crowd given the snow, cold and another cupcake. Still, could introduce them to a Clone Cone and Audi Crooks.

Can't be easy for kids to up and move during a school year like this and for the 2nd time in a year. At least being SD kids they are not going to go into shock about the winter!
 
Checked Torvik.

We are expected to win this by 40+.

Vs Iowa has shifted to a +0 toss up

Yeah, I had 4 tickets but have backed off and won't make the trip (3 hrs each way). If it was only 1 hour, I would be there.

Which reminds me: ANYONE WANT FOUR FREE TICKETS FOR TODAY'S GAME?

The number of teams single-teaming Audi lately is an interesting choice.
 
Dang, that's impressive. Hermoso for NIU picked up 5 fouls in 5 minutes. She was their starting center.

Was also kind of in and out, but was impressed with Hare today too. Addy with another huge near triple-double and would've if she would've played more likely!

It’s getting to be that time, it was hard for me to get fully interested today.
Agree - Iowa runs multiple tall posts thru their rotation and I doubt Audi will be receiving uncontested passes on Wednesday night. I wonder if this schedule has prepared us but I can’t wait to find out! Go State!

After today’s game Iowa is a very slight favorite.
 
Didn't see @acoustimac post game thread. So just a few quick thoughts here. Roads improved from the way down to the way home. Down wasn't bad it was just winter driving conditions. Pay attention and it was fine.
We basically doubled them up another cupcake game. Lily&Willy both had some nifty moves around the basket. Reserves got all the 4th qtr if I remember correctly. Nice to see Paulk get time. Hit a 3 if I remember correctly.

Nothing I've seen preseason gives me a idea how we will do Wed., so I'll just show up and be proud and loud and hope for the best. We've looked really good against poor competition time to find out if we are contenders or pretenders.

BEAT THE HAWKS!!!! GO CYCLONES!!!
