    Tyrese

    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.

    Can Iowa State get a 2 seed?

    I just want to win every game we can possibly win. If we go 2-0 this week, I will be very happy. It's not that I don't care, but I'm not going to spend much time thinking about seeds or quad 1 record, when I know Iowa State has been screwed before.

    2024-25 ISU WBB Season Thread

    I love this basketball team. The Cyclones have won 6 out of the last 7 and all 6 wins have been by comfortable margins. They were handled by Baylor, but that was a road game against a very good team. I think we will be a dangerous team in the postseason based on our talent and how we are playing...

    ***WBB 24-25 Record Watch***

    Emily would already be at 1,000 assists without the minute restriction and that one game she missed. Now that the minutes restriction is relaxed, she might still have an outside chance if the Cyclones can find a way to play at least four more games and she continues to play well. To make it...

    Bilas doing our game Wednesday

    Iowa State has been getting a ton of well-deserved national/regional press from CBS Sports, SI and others. Almost every talking head on TV and on the internet is gushing. It will keep up as long as we keep winning, but we need to make it to the final four to consolidate our gains.
