***Official ISU vs. Coe College WBB Thread!***

In my best Rich Fellingham voice "Thread Title asterisks for THREEE!!"

Looking forward to another season. Intrigued to see how the the freshman perform these first few games.
 
PM me if you want to sit courtside tonight, all I will ask is the transfer costs or pick up in WDM
 
My guess for starting lineup:
Cole
Mansfield
Williamson (could be Schroll)
Poppens
Prins or Christofferson, depending on how well Prins has recovered from her back problems.

I don't see HC at the 3. Even if she can handle it well, it kills our post depth. It's not something we can do for any extended length of time.

It will be interesting, as BF has really built Hallie up as potentially being one of the all time greats, so I can't see her coming off the bench, but, where does she play. I think its possible, likely even, that Prins doesn't start yet, because of her health issues, but once healthy it is hard to see any of the three bigs coming off the bench. They will really need to produce is they want to be in the starting five.

Honestly I don't think it matters who starts in the post. There are 80 minutes between the 4 and 5. Split three ways that's around 27 per person. If we need more minutes than that we can go with three posts for a few minutes here or there. Given our fairly frequent foul trouble in the post, i don't think that'll be an issue.
 
I'm thrilled to have it get underway. We won't be there tonight and feel bad our tix aren't going to be used. I can email a last minute transfer if anyone wants - I'll bet home about six.

We will go Sunday night. Huge Cyclone home sports weekend coming up.
 
It doesn't matter you starts what matters is who we can depend on during the critical situations.

Hilton will open 1 hour before tip so 6:00pm. Won't be there tonight.

Side note: Coe is coached by former IU player Randi Petersen. I believe she has built that program as I don't remember them being very good prior to her coming. I could be wrong though.
 
Re: **Official ISU vs. Coe College WBB Thread!**

Haven't followed Wbb much lately, how will the team be? looks like starters are back besides Bolte. ISU has some size down low that should help. Is this another NCAA tourney team? Sweet 16?

Should be a pretty good team. We host the first two rounds of the tournament so there is an especially big incentive to make it.
 
I'm at Hilton for Ian tonight. He'll be covering the team all year again, like he did last. Had a conflict this evening.

Talked to a couple of insiders before the game.

Keep an eye on Fr. PG Nikky Moody tonight. Sounds like this team will go as she does. Best case scenario is that she grows up quickly and runs the point for this bunch. Sounds like she can be VERY good, but still has a lot of freshman in her.
 
yeah, have it now....

Full court press....

Moody, blows by her defenders three times, already two assists and one steal in 2 minutes.
