The Lead
Iowa State is looking for its third sweep in league action as it takes on TCU in the Play4Kay game on Feb. 13 at 7 p.m. on Big 12 Now on ESPN+. Iowa State defeated TCU on Dec. 2, 91-68, in the Big 12 opener. Iowa State is looking for its ninth win in league play.

Not much to say about this game. Should be a good bounce back restore our mojo game. TCU has only played five road games all season and lost them all! TCU is #110 on NCAA NET. Past opponent NDSU is #111 for comparison. We are currently #31.

We opened the season against TCU way back on Dec 2nd and mushed them 92-76. We only hit 31% of 35 threes but got off a season high 71 field goal attempts so still put up 92 points. Lead 54-32 at the half. Same no Maggie Espenmiller-McGraw lineup now as for the game in Fort Worth.

You folks are lucky to be up north where the good weather is. It's looking very unlikely that Baylor will play their Sunday game against TX or the Wednesday game against WV due to ice all over the place. Global warming is killing us down here.

Fortunately, basketball is an indoor sport! We're looking at a game time air temperature of -5 tonight. That will probably feel "nice" compared to what's coming for both Sunday and Monday night.

Boo that. Dang, that will really mess with the rescheduling they just set up.

Saw all of the ice and big accidents down your way. Just cold here, like -28 wind chill after the game tonight. The TCU peeps will be running from locker to the bus tonight and thinking it's the end of the world.

Hope they have the heat turned up in Hilton prior to the game. Will be missing the body heat from 4000 or so peeps. Might be chilly in the stands.

Cold weather gear tip for our TCU visitors from The Conqueror of the Minnesota Winter, yours truly.

I want to see the sisters coming out the gate fired up. It's the time of year a good team starts to peak. We have played our worst games already so there's nothing but trending up. Not only do I expect the team to win tonight, but I want a double-digit blowout. Dear basketball God, please grant my wish today.

Neither of the two games have been officially canceled. Just a bunch of talk about it from both sides. The main roads are fine around here now but they're predicting more ice Sunday and Monday. In fact I think it's supposed to hit around game time. Which makes you wonder why they didn't play it today or at least set the time up to around noon or so. Guess that would make too much sense. According to rumor the ESPN Vans have already loaded up the TX players and are headed north.

Has Ashley ever gone scoreless for a half? Hopefully she gets it going

She will but that is not the problem. We need to play some defense in the 2nd half and not just trade baskets in a shootout.

 

[barometriclow]

Foul on donarski was bs

 

[Cyched]

Lexi's shot is looking smooth tonight

 

[larrysarmy]

Lexi has a chance at 40, if she hits a few more 3’s and assume FTs to end the game.

 

[BoxsterCy]

If either team could put together two or three consecutive defensive stops they'll be the one to win the game.
