Someone on twitter posted pictures of the WBB bracket on ESPNU. It shows ISU as a 3 seed.

Chicago region: 3 ISU vs 14 NMSU. Winner faces 6 DePaul or 11 Missouri State
Iowa is a 2 seed in the Greensboro region. Drake is a 10-seed in their sub-region.
DePaul and Missouri State are both really good. Tough draw in the Second Round.
And then Stanford? That seems like a decent draw (as a guy who only follows our ladies).
Other Big 12 seeds: Baylor 1, Texas 7, KSU 9. Looks like TCU is out unless I missed them.
I can't say much about the matchups, but a 3 seed in Chicago is pretty much ISU's best-case scenario.
NMSU looks to have one rotation player taller than 6'0" -- she's 6'2" and only plays 18 mpg. She only played 15 minutes in their 2-ot conf championship game.
They are dominated by two guards: Salas and Pack, who both average over 17 ppg. Pack is the only player on the team who shoots over 30% from three with more than two attempts/game. They shoot 28.5% from three as a team.

At 5'11", Salas averages 19 ppg, 11 rebounds, 2.9 ast, 2.5 st, and 1.7 blk. She seems like a poor-man's Carleton.
Pack is 5'10". She averages 17 / 7 / 3.5 / 2.1 / 0.5. As their biggest three-point threat, she's shooting 36.6% bta.
These two account for half their scoring, nearly half their rebounding, over half their assists, and over 40% of their steals and blocks.

Didn’t something similar happen a few years ago (maybe with the men’s)?
I seem to recall something like this

About 20% of Salas' shots and 33% of Pack's shots are bta. They each have taken a lot of FTA -- they'd be #2 and #3 in FTA on our team (behind Carleton) so I'm guessing they are big fans of dribble-drive.
NMSU has 5 other rotation players between 5.1 and 8.1 PPG, so their other scoring is distributed fairly evenly.
