We finally get to see Maddie Manning who Sherri lured from Ankeny. Injuries have prevented her appearance at Hilton. i don't recall if ISU offered her or not. She doesn't start, but averages about 12 min and 4 ppg. We might also see Shaya Kellogg from Ames, but not much as she only plays a couple of minutes a game. OU plays a little faster game than we've seen lately, averaging 76 and allowing 68 ppg. There is no one big scorer to focus on - Peyton Little, 5'11" g is the top scorer at 12 ppg. This is a team that will not physically dominate us, and we can compete, if we have the heart. I expect Moody and the posts will carry their load - if one more will show up we have a chance. I believe a 3-2 finish gets us in the Dance - this would be a good start. This is one game I'll see - I'll be the one in pink.

This is a MUST WIN in my book. Why? Because 4 of the last 5 teams on schedule have already beaten ISU, including OU. WV being the only team that the clones have beaten and that rematch is at WVU. This team doesn't seem to perform very well on the road. (and not much better at home at times). Thus I say - MUST WIN.

Going to try and stream Cyclones.TV but not sure if we have the bandwidth to do it. In Playa del Carmen. Great resort but maybe not enough connection to watch tonight.

I don't feel sorry for you Boxter.

Don't know where you're at, but if you're in the hotel area south of town, we went to the Starbucks near the RIU resorts and got a good connection. They didn't mind.

Another subplot for tonight, nice little PG recruit in town. She'd be a huge get for next year. Laura Cornelius, International PG from Netherlands.

Wow, she looks like she really knows how to put the ball on the floor to drive though and around defenders. That would be a great addition next year to play with Jadda at point. Maybe our string of not-so-great luck with European players will end with this one. Reminds me of Frese, in size and ability.

You won't be able to see any video from Cyclones.TV tonight, regardless of your connection speed. The game is on FS1.

Like the look of that player! Add in the great class coming in next year that has a top notch guard already in it and depth becomes an asset.

Interesting. I'm curious to hear the back story here. Committed to the Zags for the 2014 class, then coaching change and tore ACL, and didn't end up at Gonzaga.

Just saw on twitter she is taking officials to Miami and Iowa St. among other this week.

Win over OU would be a big win for resume. They have only lost to Texas (OT), WV, and Baylor.

But, I'd say a tough out because of the homecoming for the Iowa girls.

Little Lady looks like a player. Reminds me a little of Dixon and Logic from Iowa. Hope we can land her.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

At the game. OU uniforms all pink colored. ISU wearing those ugly gray uniforms with no pink. Only pink I see is the shoes.

 

[BenEClone]

That's the Iowa State Way! Where's the prospect?

 

[CycloneDaddy]

Clones up 41 to 30 at half. First 5 minutes looked like the ladies were going to get crushed as all they did was turnover the ball. The 3 ball started to drop which then opened up the middle for lay ups. Moody made the defender look silly on a couple of blow by lay ups.

Yeah, figured that out. No FS1 here either.

For a visual just close your eyes and imagine iowa state players running down the court holding up the 3 pointer sign. Also Sherry Cole needs to dye her roots, showing some gray but still would.

One big difference is that she will see a great ISU crowd at Hilton. Nobody at those European games.

Somebody called her a "hot mess" once. I think that fits. She's one of the coaches that Bill actually gets along with.

BW is filling it up ... 7 of the 9 points in the 2nd half.
