RELEASE: Kristin Scott named to Lisa Leslie Award watch list

From Iowa State Athletic Communications:

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – Iowa State women's basketball junior center Kristin Scott is a candidate for the Lisa Leslie Award, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and the Women's Basketball Coaches Association announced Friday.

Scott was named to the preseason watch list of 20 women's basketball student-athletes.

Last season, Scott averaged 12.8 points, 7.1 rebounds and shot 56.1 percent from the floor and a team-high 38.1 percent from long range, knocking down 45 triples. Scott was Iowa State's second-leading scorer in 2018-19, helping Iowa State one of its most successful seasons in program history with a second-place finish in the Big 12 and a 26-9 overall record.

To start the 2019-20 season, Scott was to the All-Big 12 team and was named to the All-Big 12 Second Team in 2018-19.

Scott is the first Cyclones to appear on the Leslie Award Watch List. She is also the second Cyclone this season to be named to a WBCA position award watch list, joining Ashley Joens who is on the Cheryl Miller Award Watch List. In 2019, Bridget Carleton was named the Cheryl Miller Award winner, becoming the first Cyclone to win a WBCA Position Award and be named to the Naismith Starting Five.

The Selection Committee for the Lisa Leslie Award is composed of top women's college basketball personnel including media members, head coaches, sports information directors and Hall of Famers. New to the award this season is Fan Voting presented by Dell Technologies in each of the three rounds. By mid-February, the watch list of 20 players for the 2019 Lisa Leslie Award will be narrowed to just 10. In March, five finalists will be presented to Ms. Leslie and the Hall of Fame's selection committee.

The time is at hand

The first exhibition game here in Waco is tonight at 7:00 against Langston. There will be two exhibition games here. One tonight and one on the 30th. I've noticed ISU only has one on their schedule and that being the 30th. I know these games don't even count on the W-L record for the year but they are somewhat valuable in helping coaches sort out a lot of things like line-ups, plays etc. I'm sure looking forward to this season and expecting to see quite a few more Cyclones fans this year at the tourney since it will be in KC.

I have recently read up on all the line ups, new recruits, transfers etc that will be affecting each Big 12 team this year. I really don't know how to call/guess at 8 of the teams. It seems that very few have made any major upgrades. Tech has several transfers that were on the bench last year that will be playing now. I feel they will be better in spite of so many who transferred out. OU also will be a little better just due to the young ones maturing. WV is hard to say. I thought they would be better last year than they were, so who knows. TCU seems to be same ole same ole. I doubt KSU will be as good as last year. Right now TX has got two starters hobbling around injured and won't be playing for a while. Joyner has a big boot on her foot in fact. But better to have the injuries early than late. Regardless of how it shakes out the "TIME" is upon us and nets will soon be swishing in WBB.

What is the reason for the running game being better?

I know, dumb question, it is Hall in general. But beyond that, is there something that the OL is doing better, or is it the use on 3 TEs a lot, or is Downing a huge addition or that ISU has played bad defenses lately or is it all because Hall is just a very good running back? Does the line play harder when they know a guy like Hill can turn a 2 yard game into a TD?

I still think Lang is a good back, and Kene has his moments. Hill definitely passes as a blocker, which will keep Croney on the sideline a lot. He has had some nice pickups and has destroyed a couple guys on the edge.

Keto

My wife and I are about to start keto and it’s long overdue. I’m 6’6”, was 190 when I graduated high school, and have ended up hovering the 280-290 range for years now. Im hoping to settle in the 240ish range but don’t really have a target weight. Just to feel healthy again.

Anyone have any good resources? My wife picked up a beginners guide on amazon but the recipes seem really involved for every day type of meals. I know what I’m getting into with the diet itself, so not looking to debate the pros and cons. I’m basically eliminating the foods I have allergies to like most fruit and grains. I haven’t eaten fruit in years but have had a hard time giving up grains even though I feel like **** afterwords.
