    WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

    Didn't she poach (wink wink) 7-9 players from other teams in the off season to staff this years team? If that makes her a great coach...well.

    Twister Sister Summary - Valiant effort but no post presence dooms the sisters

    I have largely refrained from commenting for 3 years. Its damn hard to be effective when a player, any player, gets minimal court time, is not allowed to play through even ONE mistake (gets pulled immediately) and rarely touches the ball when they are on the court. I'd like to remind our...

    Lots of people wondering the same thing.

    WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

    I would have placed Indiana among those other two, until they stumbled against MSU. They were playing at a very high level and without their best all around player, Grace Berger. JMO.

    Heather Ezell's dad passed away

    My wife and I sat by him at the Big 12 tourney when it was held in OKC. I believe Heather was a senior that year. He was a good fan, really proud of his daughter (of course) with a great smile.

    Twister Sister Summary - Another second half collapse...

    When your best percentage 3 point shooter over the last 2 years gets exactly 2 brief touches in almost 11 minutes of play last night then, yes, that would partly contribute to an absence of bench scoring.

    We better do a much better job of jumping the dribbler on ball screens and/or switching than we did against NC. Second half ,IMO, we were terrible at it and it was one of the two main contributing factors to us getting beat. JMHO

    WBB: General Thread of Cyclones Women's Hoops 2021-2022 Season

    Maybe its just me. But, I detected a change in the way Iowa played the last 10-12 games versus how they played before. Less Clark and more of everyone else. Hence, they started getting more scoring out of all their players, especially Czinzano.

    WBB: Updates on the high school seasons for current signees/verbals

    NW Iowa has generally been Iowa territory. Started long ago when Iowa BB had TV broadcasts out of Sioux City. Zero ISU coverage across the state except for WOI which at the time was owned and operated by ISU.

    ***#8 Iowa State vs. #5 Baylor (Monday, 6:00)***

    Talking about ball movement and including all five in the offense. That is all. And yes, I have either watched or attended EVERY SINGLE GAME of both teams (except those on that blasted Longhorn Network!!) EVERY SINGLE GAME.

    ***#8 Iowa State vs. #5 Baylor (Monday, 6:00)***

    I would like to see CBF walk across the hall at Sukup and ask TJ about his pass first offense. The ball moves lightning fast and on many possessions it rarely touches the floor. All 5 players involved. Not just one or two. Just a thought.

    Twister Sister Summary - Another thrashing at the hands of Baylor

    The officials are not THE reason we got beat. That being said...they were still sh****. And, that's being kind.

    Twister Sister Summary - Another thrashing at the hands of Baylor

    One player was 1 for 1 on three-point attempts last night on a great cross- court pass from Ryan in the first quarter. Despite being open on 3-4 other occasions, no other passes made to her.

    ***#8 Iowa State vs. #5 Baylor (Monday, 6:00)***

    4. NaLyssa Smith is probably going to get her 25-30. Hold the other 4-5 to 30 or less and we have a decent shot at winning.

    ***#8 Iowa State vs. #5 Baylor (Monday, 6:00)***

    1. We have to match their physicality whether the refs intervene or not. 2. We have to push the ball at least a few times. Force them to turn their backs away from the ball. Walking it up the floor over and over allows Baylor to set their defense. 3. We have to make threes and that requires...

    Twister Sister Summary - holy buckets! holy buckets! holy buckets!

    Aub Dog will be there. She's a gamer and her time will come again. She has a role and its a valuable one to this team. If you don't guard her she WILL beat you.

    *** WBB: #9 ISU at #25 K-State Tuesday 6:30 ESPN+ - Game Thread ***

    Agree. Here's my take on "lucky" shots: Putting on a blindfold, turning your back to the basket and the ball goes in after you toss the ball over your shoulder, that's luck. As I have aged I have come to believe that "luck", if one wants to label it that way, if very very often a product of...

    FWIW, I think you are spot on. IMHO, she would never be allowed to play this way at ISU or many other schools for that matter.
