We’d be a lot more athletic.Wonder what the team would be like with Denae Fritz, Lexi Donarski and Jalynn Bristow on the roster.

Stremlow is going to develop into a good player for them.Good point
Iowas has 4 senior starters and steulke is a junior
There bench is all freshman though
Bristow would be another sophomore, Lexi a fifth year, and Denae…well, she is on her third school! Don’t even know if she is playing now.We’d be a lot more athletic.
Lol, i’m sure you had your pitchfork sharpened before the game started.The problem is that Iowa State has been young for like the last 10 years…
How long does it take to learn to handle a basketball?People seem to forget how young this team is. Should/Could we have won tonight? Yes! Our core are all sophomores. Losing Hare is big. A lot of season left! Expectations may have been a bit too high. But, time will tell. Go State!
Bristow is averaging 5.5 ppg, Fritz 2.8. Donarski's numbers continue to fall. Averaging 9 ppg so far this year. The way things played out losing those three created other opportunities. Would I like to have them all back? In a heartbeat. I think Fritz would have developed nicely here. Bristow too.Wonder what the team would be like with Denae Fritz, Lexi Donarski and Jalynn Bristow on the roster.
Fennelly has a horrendous record against Iowa......it took Ashley Joens until her senior season to beat Iowa.People seem to forget how young this team is. Should/Could we have won tonight? Yes!

this puzzled me as well. It seemed the playbook was reduced to one page and that was force feed Crooks. We did get some looks from outside, but sadly AJ and Hansford are woefully inconsistent and aren’t much for scoring threats.Our guards have to be able to create offense. Lobbing it to Audi and turning the ball over 21 times is absurd.
even our outside looks look so tough.....the offense has no flow at all....everything looks slow and we can't ever beat anyone off the dribble....it's the same story every single year against higher level competitionthis puzzled me as well.

Breathe..it will be alrightFennelly has a horrendous record against Iowa......it took Ashley Joens until her senior season to beat Iowa.
And now this is an Iowa squad that is extremely flawed....they don't have their savior, CC, who just put up 35 points a game. This was a winnable game and once again, our coaching staff was outclassed in this matchup.....every. single. year.
ISU out rebounded them.
You need players who can handle the ball. Turnovers and free throw shooting lost the game
It’s so painfully obvious but Bill is just too stubborn. There are just too many girls on this team that are totally superfluous. Audi is great but lacks athleticism. You have to make up for that with the 4 or wings and we don’t have that. But I’m sure glad we have 7 skinny undersized wings that can shoot a little bit but can’t guard or rebound.
we'll still win lots of games but you can understand how frustrating it is to lose the same way against higher level competition, right?Breathe..it will be alright
Part 2Just imagine what the UConn game will be like.
I have no doubt about this. It’s not going to be easy AND I expect this team to continue to improve. Will they meet preseason hype of being an Elite 8 or better team? Right now I’m doubtful. There are some serious flaws that need fixed. Can it happen? Yes. I’m just going to have to see tons of improvement in the areas that were so terrible tonight. Free throws, multiple scoring threats, reduce turnovers, and better personnel movement.Good thing is the rest of the Big 12 isn’t great. Still think ISU can win the conference.
She is too slow to do a lot of things.Audi is too slow to set screen and roll into the post
Free throw shooting is alarming! Not something I ever thought would be an issue.I have no doubt about this. It’s not going to be easy AND I expect this team to continue to improve.

i chalk tonight under the rivalry game…sucks to lose..but..we still have a ton of potential!we'll still win lots of games but you can understand how frustrating it is to lose the same way against higher level competition, right?
