Obviously Ezell and Lacey were great but you also have to respect Stuckey for not fouling Hehney, Hiney, whatever and putting her on the line for a one-and-one.

I'm pretty sure this gutsy performance all but ensures the Twister Sisters will be playing at least one game at WFA next week. Probably ensures a better seed as well.
I just don't get it when some people react this way.
Our are daughters of less value than our sons? Why should we not take as much pride in what our daughters accomplish when compared with what our sons achieve?
Heck, I have two sons, no daughters. But I don't get this. Maybe your zeal for the Twisters Sisters today sends an important message to those around you. Glad you did it!
I'm going to assume they will be playing A&M tomorrow, but wouldn't mind seeing Missouri pull off another upset! How did we do against A&M this season?

Fennelly just said on the post game that Joc Anderson is really sick. She was throwing up all night and wasn't supposed to play today.

I'm sorry I had bad thoughts towards her when she couldn't corral two of those passes. Sorry Joc.:sad:
I simply just love the character I see in our program right now - exemplified today with our women. Even if that shot had gone in at the end, I'd feel the same way - was actually typing this thing up when we were still behind.
I've seen the same from our MBB team and started to see it in our FB team late last fall. The yearning desire to fight and fight and fight. I love it.
Our man might get waxed tomorrow night by A&M and our girls may get pounded by A&M or upset by Mizzu in their next game - but I certainly won't be concerned about our dedication to the task at hand and character to keep playing the entire game - regardless of the score.
These things bode very well for the future.

Everyone should go back and read the game thread. It gives you goose bumps and almost makes you cry from pride. The emotions of the game are still fresh and all of our comments from the second half on were dripping with joy and pain and joy and pain and then exhiliration.
Fennelly made people care about women's basketball at Iowa State, which is pretty remarkable. Now we're a top five team nationally in attendance.
Like I said, I love Fennelly but Nichols clearly distinguishes himself as the greatest coach in ISU history.
6 national team titles
8 conference titles
456-75-11 all-time dual record
11 national runner ups
finished third 8 times
I think it is safe to say he is the greatest coach in ISU history, but that doesn't take anything away from the remarkable job Fennelly has done.
Luckily I didn't bet on that game. I wanted to but I didn't want to bet against ISU, good thing I didn't
I wanted a moneyline on that game but I guess they don't do those for the women.
Damn sexist linesmakers...:no:
And during Nichols time, Johnny Majors took an ingrained losing football program and brought it into Div 1 competitiveness. Also during Nichols time our hockey program picked up Murtaugh. We had a prennial championship gymnastics team under Gaignier (sp?) and finally we had national championship cross country teams.
All of these came from a nondescript athletic background without the help of huge athletic budgets or decades of tradition.
Because of the foregoing, it is futile to pretend there is one best coach-of-all-time. We have been fortunate to have several of them in several different sports in several different time periods.
I do think that our current AD and Pres. are one of the better combinations we've ever had and I will not be surprised if we have more best-ever coaches coming our way sooner rather than later.
