Joens was one of only three who were unanimous selections. Maggie on freshman team. Scott honorable mention. Cox is POY.

Brittney Brewer over Natasha Mack for 1st team seems damn right odd to me, guess it's a senior thing.

4:50 PM, Central time, 3/9/2020.
He's still bad at the coaching.

I’ll make this quick and then go celebrate. How about...

ISU comes out and punches Baylor in the nose and leads after the 1st.

Baylor responds and ISU doesn’t score a SINGLE basket in the 2nd

The rest of the game is a back and forth battle. Reminded me of a heavyweight match.

The officials weren’t the best, but they weren’t afraid to make a call at the end of the game either. Missed a LOT of over the back or displacement calls on Baylor.

Baylor dominated the inside and ISU dominated the outside

in the end it was ISU with the ball, no shot clock and a tie game. Joens is fouled and hits one with .1 tics left. Misses second on purpose and Baylor’s streak in the conference is over.

highlight? Treys made by nearly everyone on the team. Biggest may have been one by Nez as the shot clock was expiring.

Great job ladies! ISU 57-56.

With Ashley Joens averaging a double-double in both all games and Big 12 games she's obviously in the top few for the award. With two games left not much more is going to occur to change the race. Interesting year since there aren't a lot of players with standout stats on the top team and maybe no strong bias for a senior. Note all stats I reference below are Big 12 conference games.

Baylor is SO balanced that they do not have someone who has standout individual stats. Pre-season POY pick and outstanding player, Lauren Cox is at 12.3 pts 8.1 rb 3.6 ast. 2.4 blocks, great overall in 4 categories but a little short on the scoring. I think Cox, Smith, Richards and Landrum sort of cancel either other out. For example, Baylor has four players with the league top 15 for assists, balance. Calling @geewago for input.

Some league leaders with stats from leader board:

• Ashley Joens ISU 19.1 pts 10.3 rb (double-double)
• Natasha Mack OSU 19.2 pts 12.3 rb (double-double) plus league leading 4.5 blocks and 2.0 steals
• Lauren Heard TCU 19.0 pts 7.7 rbs 4.3 asts 2.3 steals (Best case to be made for a player from a leading team)
• Lauren Cox Baylor 12.3 pts 8.1 rb 3.6 ast. 2.4 blocks (four categories among leaders and pres-season POY pick)
• Brittney Brewer TTU 17.1 pts 9.7 rb (near double-double but short of making the final cut)
• Vivian Gray OSU 19.9 pts 4.1 ast (good two category leader but teammate Mack is better)

Think it will be between Joens, Mack and Heard. I cut Cox and her four categories among leaders since Mack and Heard have those also and at a higher rank. Two juniors and a sophomore, no senior bias. Slight winners bias towards Heard. All three IMHO are totally deserving. Objectively, I think Heard and Mack have an edge over Joens as both are leaders in 4 categories each to Joen's 2 categories. Interesting in that my three leaders were all short of much pre-season recognition. Joens was honorable mention and Mack and Heard had no mention. All three players emerged as league leaders this season.

All, we are flying with a one year old and have two flights we are considering, both with very short layovers. Either we can fly through Atlanta and have a 57 minute layover or fly through Detroit and have a 35 minute layover. I have never flown through Detroit but I know it's a much smaller airport compared to Atlanta. I've learned in the past that even 1 hour layovers in Atlanta give you little time to spare if you have to hop terminals via the Plane Train. Keep in mind we want to gate check a stroller but we aren't opposed to bag checking it since time is of the essence on a short connection. What would you suggest? Thanks!

We are going to be doing tees for each Cyclone Fanatic podcast. First up, with the return of Football And Random Things happening today, they get to be first. The Football And Random Things Tee! Who knows, wearing this at a game watch might get Jared or Jeff to buy you beers.

How is the quality of our wrestling facilities and how does it compare to the top programs? Are they holding us back in recruiting in peoples opinion?

Enjoy!

Welcome back to "On That Note," CF’s weekly go-to for music exploration, hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and cyclones500.

In advance of Daylight Saving Time, we examine songs with specific reference to a time of day. It can involve titles, lyrics or band names. We also accept “midnight” and “noon."

NOT ACCEPTED: "Afternoon,” “morning” or “evening"; general references to time (including the word "time,” demarcations such as hour/second/minute; or “clock.”

If lyrical reference isn’t part of the song title, include the line with your clip.

• In case you missed it: Last week’s OT: Hot Rocks

I think it could be closer than we want.

141 - Demas vs Parker will be top match I am interested in
174 - Mantanona vs Colbray will be interesting, Mantanona has a gas tank this year and puts points on the board

125 - Mackall vs Moody - Mackall should get it done.
133 - Small vs Madrigal - Could be close

We need to replace our current furnace and air conditioner, what are the pros and cons of both? There are a lot of tax credits for a geo thermal, so just trying to decide which way to go.

I see Rashir Bolton will not play today and possibly out of the Big XII tournament. If already mentioned, mods can merge with other posts.

Was not aware this was going on Bob @surly

No amount of service helmet stickers makes up for this egregiousness.

This was probably already posted or discussed somewhere, so feel free to point me in that direction, but was there any sort of story around why there's no halftime entertainment this year? I looked on cyclones.com and it looks like the only game with anything scheduled at halftime is KState and the FM Acro team.

As much as I appreciate the coaches taking us from where we were a few years ago, they need to have a hard evaluation of themselves this offseason. Thoroughly out coached in plenty games. Penalties, turnovers, it’s all comes down to coaching. Hope they can improve themselves.

Just released the first two episodes on Hulu. Its produced by FX, but appears to be a Hulu exclusive with new episodes airing every Thursday.

I loved the first two episodes. It kind of had an HBO's Watchmen feel to me. It drops you into the middle of a complicated story and doesn't offer much explanation so far, but you can definitely feel big things building. It's a very different role for Nick Offerman, but he's great so far.

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere - update on Small and Carr in here

Tech started rough but have been pouring it on the Pokes. Forcing them to take some really bad shots.

Yesterday, former Wichita State G Austin Reaves tweeted that Iowa State was in his final four along with UNI, Purdue and Oklahoma.

Kicker is, Iowa State doesn't have a scholarship for him.

Hearing that this is a kid Iowa State is recruiting for if Lindell Wigginton goes pro. Lindell decision, I'm guessing, won't come until after the combine.

You know what I'm talking about. Shock the world. Set Prohm free.

My tickets finally came in the mail today!! Looks like my seats are in the end zone section 119 row 23!!! Hopefully I’m near other cyclone fans.

CF consensus pick record: 12-6
