WBB: Cyclones versus Oklahoma Sooners at 1:30 p.m. ESPN2/ESPN+

[Dale]

Imo we're inching towards a 7 and Williams has mentioned 6 a few times.

Looking at Creme's 5-8 seeds (plus Iowa State), Iowa State now has the best Q1A-equivalent* record of any of the teams in that bunch. That said, they also have more less-than-great losses than most (but not all) of the 5/6/7-seeded teams. If I were reseeding -- and trying to be as objective as possible -- after OU I'd put them in the middle of the 6s. I could understand a 7, but worse than that gets a little crazy.

* Qualifier added because someone mentioned that the women's bracket no longer uses quadrants, but the general idea of a Q1A win (even if it's not called that) still holds.

We even had the higher scoring Joens sister. Great game by all!

I think we can put that one in the kick ass and take names category. Could not happen to a better team and coach than OU

Great win Cyclones

I loved the move by Bill when that tall G/F starting get hot for OU. Bill pulled both Cs and put Addy on their post and had Ny guard the hot hand. Ny's length really disrupted her flow.

Nice work!

Oh yes it could. I present to you Vic and Texas. If we beat Texas tomorrow I would be grinning for so long my face would be stuck like that for the rest of my life.

Original idea Fran

 

[BCClone]

How is that not already a thing?

Because she already has a deal with Kemna Chevrolet.

 

[carvers4math]

Fran is a Cyclone fan for sure!

I will say Sheryl Swoopes could not say enough good things about Audi today, even kept calling her big girl. I remember thinking that if we were the losing team, I'd be pissed that the announcers said very little about our team. They did, but the accolades for Audi and Co. just overwhelmed the rest.

 

[Kinch]

Fun. Fact: OU is now 0–7 in Big 12 semi final games since 2010.

Lobo too was riding the Crooks train with several compliments.

Iowa State has not lost a semi final game against OU. 3-0 against the Sooners in semi final games.

Just now looking at the OP. No idea that was Swoopes doing the color. Very cool

 

[CloniesForLife]

For some reason I thought this was tonight. Went to check game time and was very happy to see that score!! Nice work to the women!

 

[cyclone82]

Audi, Emily, Addy….all of them are so fun to watch always smiling enjoying the game and just playing…… no whining like that bunch from the toe.

 

[StClone]

The fact that this semi final game is on a Monday afternoon just seems like a gigantic miss by the Big 12.

Tot at 5'3, Ryan is just under six foot and she knows all of the Okie's moves. Tot was arcing in and Em put herself at the center of that arc and she pretty much never was out of position. Her quick reaction block proved that.

 

[Cyched]

So I had to bail out after the first quarter for a meeting. Was still following the score.

We were up 7 when I left. We won by 17 and were up by 20+ for a good chunk.

Do I need to forgo tomorrow's game?

Since it was semi's and just 2 games doing at night would seem to be better for attendance. Probably in afternoon to be on actual espn networks.

Natabou seems like such a great person talking on the post game radio today. Seemed so excited to be part of it, reminds me of when Gilbert talks about how great the team/fans/atmosphere is for mens team.
