We also didn't get to the line a lot tonight.....UNC shot double the amount of ft's compared to us
***#5 Iowa State vs. #8 North Carolina (Sunday, 6:30 p.m.)***

This "lesson to the team" applies to Bill, first and foremost.
They did and she was drawing doubles. She had a few nice kick outs and we just missed threes. She should have had about 5 hockey assists.
WE didn't need to make adjustments on O, we NEEDED to make ADJUSTMENTS on D. The high post screen KILLED US. They decided to go like 100% from the elbows that second half. Must have scored 24 or 28 from there. They didn't miss many when they came off the screen and found no one in their face.
Absolutely. The defense was much more frustrating than the offense.
We were up 50-36 at 3:49 left in 3rd. We were down 53-59 at 5:04 left in 4th. Three points in 8:41 of game clock.
All depends on the officiating.
ISU women play a physical team that goes Huggins and dares you to call everything?
Probably going to lose.
It's true, we have finesse guards, because the women's game is supposed to be prettier, smoother, and with a more entertaining flow.
The horrible trend of brutish basketball has now taken over women's basketball as well. To the detriment of the sport.
There is a trend of more girls choosing volleyball because the sport is still the sport.
Sad state of affairs.
We need major practice on ball screen defense! NC had open looks from the elbow the whole 2nd half. Not sure what’s going on with Diew but she’s not close to the player she was late last season. Diew was really sloppy with the ball and honestly, she should not be passing the ball in on OOB plays until she figures it out. The game was definitely lost on the defensive end, though. Probably should have played Donarski in the 3rd quarter.
The big 12 knows that all the have to do is push and shove us and we'll get flustered. If the refs don't call it, then do it some more. The officials are there to keep that from happening, but if you aren't going to punch back, they'll just let it happen. Because, they don't know how to do their jobs. And for some reason they like it rough.
To me, the biggest losers in this game are some of the shockingly juvenile posters who have a melt-down over one game. Did you really think this team, no matter where we are ranked, was going to go undefeated this year; it happens. And whatever needs to be fixed will be worked on. But bailing on the girls and calling them names and calling them quitters is beyond unbelievable. This is as good a team as we are likely to see in Ames for many years. So, forget the silliness and SUPPORT the girls. They have done absolutely nothing to justify losing our support. It's only one game and its early in the season. Second at the Phil Knight is pretty darn good. And losing to an team ranked 8th in the nation is hardly a caused for a complete meltdown.
As it turns out good players on good teams can hit uncontested 12 footers. Who’d have thought? Bill has to adjust to that. He’s too experienced to let that happen over and over without changing ball screen coverage.
Apparently Bill’s not a fan of using time outs to stop the momentum of the other team.
Not sure if we are Huggins level. May hand check a little more than I like, but not Huggins level.
The man's game should be called tighter and the women's game should be less dependent on how much you can hack.
I haven't seen anyone bailing or calling anyone names. The harshest criticism I have seen is of Bill's in game coaching. Nobody expected an undefeated season. A couple things that were seen during the game were concerning if we truly have Final Four aspirations. I am sure it will be worked on though.
