Nothing to add. This should be like the Cincy game, 25-30 point win at home. This is a near 100% guaranteed win. Cincy/UFC/Houston/Arizona are all really bad teams. Cincy has some young freshman and maybe some promise for the future, the others don't even have that.

If it's a UFC card, I like ISU's chances.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Let's Go State!

For those watching at home…you get Pop!

 

[NWICY]

Looking to continue the win streak. I was really impressed with their play on Wednesday

Righted the ship.

Back to ugly

Pretty good quarter. They are choosing to collapse on Audi.

 

[CYDJ]

I would have rather had Jada pass to Harris with 10 s left in that Quarter, they were sinking off her. Just hit the 3 and not take it down to nothing and flail. That is not a good play.

 

[JP4CY]

#30 throws a lot of elbows down low.

 

[bozclone]

Hare really struggling from 3

 

[OKClones]

Hare has really struggled in Conference play.
Under 30% FG and 3 point shooting, 44% from the FT line. Ouch!

 

[CYDJ]

EP is really mixing it up. I'd like her to take the shot a little more often when open though.

 

[CYDJ]

There was some just pure effort there. Just good to see their moxie.

Similar thing at the last shot clock violation. AJ was open and she's had the hot hand - should certainly be in her hands.

 

[ZorkClone]

They are completely shutting down Audi on offense or more accurately preventing the pass into her.
