*** 2025-26 ISU WBB Season Thread ***

Ahhh…I misread and thought you were referring to the non-con when you said pre-season (as in pre conf season). Like I said…I’m tired.

Well, it make me rethink and edit my post with who I think might be ranked and whether Iowa will or will not be!

Baylor and WVU are likely and maybe KSU. I was going with the 4 games against those three. But KSU is iffy so it could be only two ranked opponents. TCU and OSU could sneak into the rankings and maybe added some Tier 1's. The league is historically weak.

Iowa may not be ranked, maybe just outside. I might be selling Iowa short with them adding Emely Rodriguez but they are likely to be better later than early so thinking not ranked when we play. I do think it will be good game in Hilton, would a good one for a national audience.

We will be the overwhelming favorite to take 1st come this fall.

I don't care where we are ranked or considered preseason, what I would like for the girls is a conference title, conference tournament championship, and a sweet 16 run or better in the tourney.
If that doesn't happen within the next 2 yrs it will be disappointing career for that freshman class that came in and had such a fun freshman yr. Just my opinion.

ISU bball was having a meeting in the suite on top floor of Stark today. Billy saw me on way out and we talked for few seconds. Told him about me working here now.

It was both wbb and mbb players and staff.

I saw Hare in a new video they put out. Looks like she is moving pretty good and back up to at least practicing speed.

Lisfranc injury, also known as Lisfranc fracture, is an injury of the foot in which one or more of the metatarsal bones are displaced from the tarsus.

This is so fun to share. Audi Crooks had a basketball camp scheduled. Since she is on Team USA she can’t do the camp.

The ENTIRE WBB team is going to do the camp for her.
