There are several ways I thought about posting this and what options to use, but settled on this.

Which would you pick and why?

1 - Guaranteed spot in the Final 4 that would end in a loss.
2 - Guaranteed spot in the Sweet 16 with no predetermined outcome on win/loss going forward.

Hadn't heard about this, but it's interesting and would be a cool opportunity.

"Students from the Iowa town Chinese President Xi Jinping visited nearly 39 years ago were invited on an all-expense paid trip to China by the communist leader himself - showing the town of Muscatine has a special place in his heart.

In 1985, Sarah Lande organized a group from China visiting Muscatine on an agricultural research tour of America, and one of the participants was Xi.

The two have kept in contact over the years and Lande decided to take Xi up on his remarks at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco in November when he expressed a desire to host American students in his country."

"Beardshear’s legacy includes fostering the start of athletic programs, increasing faculty 25 to 78 while enrollment quadrupled during his 11-year tenure. The Cyclones nickname also came about in 1895 during Beardshear’s time as President. In 1938 the central building on campus was named Beardshear Hall to honor “The Father of Iowa State.” #IowaOTD #IowaHistoryDaily"

With Stephanie Soares signing her first pro contract I thought I'd open a general thread for our pro players sort of like what we have for the NBA in MBB forum. Leaving it open to include others with state of Iowa connections, either via Iowa schools of originally Iowa HS players. We will also be able to post Olympic teams stuff here for Carleton, and probably Soares to.

• Stephanie Soares is currently in Brazil with their national team for the Olympic qualifying rounds this being hosted their.
• Bridget Carleton just signed a two year contract with the Minnesota Lynx. She's played this winter in Spain and is now with Team Canada.
• Ashley Joens is playing in Italy this winter and suspect she'll maybe get a training camp invite from someone in April.
• Iowa related: Hawk's Megan Gustafson and Iowa native Kiah Stokes both signed WNBA contracts with the Las Vegas Aces this past week. . Gustafson was playing in England this winter.

Only one I've really liked was the Dove soap one set to a hard knock life for girls sports. That's how little kids learn is by taking tumbles.

Nothing good can come of this! If it's 9, i'd rather stay where we are!

Let the grumbling commence!

Huge wins this week going 2-0 against good teams and several right ahead of us lost. Just don’t wanna be number 9 haha.

We are coming up for a game and I was wondering if anyone had any insight on a good hotel to stay in. We have little kids so we are looking for a pool and hot tub. Thanks for any info.
