Twister Sister Summary - Shorthanded Sisters Roll Past UNI

[acoustimac]

We all received a shock hearing that Crooks was out for this one. Then add in the loss of Paulk and the team was short one All-American and two regular contributors. What would happen? Only good things.

TSS – Shorthanded Sisters Roll Past UNI

Once the news got out that the Sisters were going to be shorthanded with the loss of Crooks and Paulk everything one thought about this game changed. As I sat at Hilton and watched Crooks and the w…

So is it confirmed that Audi was out due to a concussion?

Watching this game reminded me, if we “just” had Addy we still would have replaced Ashley Joens without skipping a beat.

Great write up @acoustimac, one thing I would add is the crowd was really good for a prefinals Sunday game. The student section actually had more for wbb then the men. Haven't checked attendance numbers but the women definitely had a fuller lower bowl then the men did. I'm guessing total they were a little behind the men, but still a well attended game on a cold day.
I'm can't remember when we've had a defense this tenacious.
Jadda W really opens up the offense with her passing ability and speed. Great job by the reserve bigs today.
This game can only help the ladies IMO, a good chance to play w/o Audi in case she would get into early foul trouble or something. It was good to have the experience.
Things I learned in the post-game A. Williams is already done with her undergrad and is in grad school. Good for her that's a heck of accomplishment in my book. Redshirt Jr (I believe) already done with undergrad.
Well next Sunday will start the B12 for us GO CYCLONES!!!

Great points. I assumed we would have a small crowd due to weather today, but it wasn’t! The defense is worth mentioning again and again. Fennelly even mentioned handing it off to his assistants again in the post game. They’ve done a great job of redesigning it and the players have bought into it,

While the concussion was not confirmed in the official verbiage used by ISU, just a "injury sustained during the Iowa game", we know she banged her head. They also said that she will try to "complete return to play protocols early this week" Concussions are widely associated with return to play protocols.

I think it's safe to say it's a Concussion.

Maybe? Probably, one poster said the play-by-play guy said concussion but all I heard was the vague "protocol" in the 2nd from them. Iowa used the same vague language when Wright was out but it was obvious since she left a game after hitting her head and didn't return. Would seem pretty precautionary since Crooks never left the Iowa game if it is related to her head bump. Even a "my calf hurts" would be good enough to rest her against UNI, they are pretty bad, with another week of coming and than first Big 12 game at Hilton.

I saw a couple different sources saying concussion protocol…now whether the reporters at the Rag are reliable or not is another thing…
