    Bilas doing our game Wednesday

    I don't like Bilas but wasn't offended by anything he said. I find him kind of boring and repetitive.

    **** WBB: Iowa State at Arizona State - Gamethread - 7:30 pm ESPN+ ****

    What a weird game. Iowa State wasn't great but had 6 players with at least 9 points, which was a welcome change. Great to see AJ have a breakout scoring game. I thought Emily was really good, she's a great leader and makes everyone else better when she's in the game. I don't think anything is...

    **** WBB: Gamethread: Iowa State hosts Utah 5:30 pm ESPN2 ****

    Most of Brown's perceived drop in production since last year is due to her minutes per game being down from 33 to 28. She is scoring 19.5 points per 40 minutes compared to 15.8 last year. Her shooting percentages are also better this season. I would have a lot more confidence in this team if the...

    **** WBB: Gamethread: Iowa State hosts Utah 5:30 pm ESPN2 ****

    I find it peculiar that Tanke played 26 minutes and Hansford 9. Neither one has shown that they should be in the rotation at all. And both were throwing up 3s with under five minutes left in the game. Last year the Cyclones three-point shooting was top five in the nation, but this year it is a...

    A Complete Unknown

    I've seen it twice so far - a screening in IMAX a week early and again on Christmas Day. There are a whole bunch of historical inaccuracies mostly regarding dates being moved around and situations being changed and/or invented. I think it is an outstanding film featuring top notch acting by the...

    Ok, done with college football for the season

    I've been off the train for a long time. The last playoff game I actually watched was when Ohio State won over Oregon despite being an undeserved selection for the playoff. My streak will only be broken when Iowa State gets in.

    *** Official #3 IOWA STATE vs Colorado Game(Day) Thread ***

    The Cyclones are averaging 87.7 points per game which is 7th in Division 1, and I believe would be the second most in school history. The school record is 90.2 points by the 87-88 team that started hot and was ranked as high at #10 in the AP poll before proceeding to lose 7 conference games in a...

    ***OFFICIAL CFP Rankings Show Watch Thread***

    I follow college football nationally much less than I used to because it has been ruined by the selection committee and media coverage (ESPN and others). When I was a kid, the Big Eight champion always went to the Orange Bowl, championships were decided by polls, and sometimes we had split...

    Twister Sister Summary - Different lineups and good results dominate blowout

    I was happy to see every player get significant minutes and each score at least 3 points. Other than that, not much to take away from this game. It was frustrating how many free throws were missed, especially in the 4th quarter where we only scored 11 points.

    Twister Sister Summary - Panthers open up a can of whoop ass on Sisters

    Emily Ryan is averaging 12.5 assists per 40 minutes and has a 4.7 assist to turnover ratio, and some fans would like to see her benched.

    Twister Sister Summary - Panthers open up a can of whoop ass on Sisters

    Iowa State's defense lost the game - couldn't get stops and couldn't force turnovers. The lack of bench production was surprising, I wonder if we'll be running an 8-woman rotation by conference season. I expect that the team will get it turned around, and this will just end up being a blip on...

    NCAA Possibly Expanding Tournament Field

    96 teams with 32 byes would be a big improvement over 68.

    Bill Walton Dies at 71

    I have a memory of Snapper Jones saying that Jeff Hornacek was the only shooting guard in the NBA that couldn't dunk a basketball. Bill's response "Jeff Hornacek can dunk, I've seen him dunking all over the place."

    Bill Walton Dies at 71

    I was 11 years old when the Blazers won the championship and have loved Bill Walton since. I saw him one time at a Dylan concert in Phoenix towering over the crowd and having a great time. RIP.

    2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

    Clark should take her covid year and also enter the transfer portal. She could write her own ticket, and she would be the biggest story in sports over the next year. The only reason not to do this would be out of loyalty to her former team.

    2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

    Congratulations to Iowa on the big win yesterday. They surprised me as I didn't think they had nearly enough talent to make it back to the championship game. Stuelke had a huge game and Martin took over down the stretch. As I Cyclone fan I was rooting against Iowa when they played WV and CO...

    Twister Sister Summary - Season closes in epic fashion

    Did you know that the Cyclones made 38.3% from three, 5th best in Division 1? We had six players just shoot great as shown below. I'm very happy that Hannah was able to have such a great last season. She was an assassin in big moments. I hope everybody else comes back next season and I can't...

    Illinois matchup

    This is the biggest game that Iowa State has had in 10 years. Will we be able to get over the hump, or get stuck at the Sweet 16 again? I expect the 'Clones to win because we have a better team and have accomplished more over the season.
