    Twister Sister Summary - Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!

    I can't stand it and don't listen to our radio broadcasts any more. I also have stopped listening to the post-game interviews because her questions seem to ramble on for a minute.

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    I don't think that is the reason. Just no place to buy gas or go to the bathroom. Closest little town could be miles from the exit.

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    I have a similar experience, but Pierre is virtually a traffic jam compared to I-94 in the middle of North Dakota. Exit signs all say "No Services".

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    About the Dakotas... My wife and I are in the process of visiting all 50 state capitols. In my research, I have learned the history of many of our states. One reason the Dakota Territory was split was that the Republicans gained four senators (rather than two) in Washington when the two...

    ***Iowa State vs. #14 Oklahoma (Sat., 2:30)***

    This is the most sharing of the ball that I've seen in many weeks from our gals...and it is working great!

    ***Iowa State vs. #14 Oklahoma (Sat., 2:30)***

    I've always thought there should be more no calls when offensive players initiate the contact.

    2 passes on that possession provides 3 points

    Have we passed the ball yet?

    What is Going On with Emily Ryan?

    She has struggled pretty all of the Big 12 season this year. Lots of turn-overs, few points, getting into foul trouble too often, too much dribbling, too slow to guard opposing guards from driving into the lane...

    ***#20 Iowa State at Oklahoma State (Wed., 6:30)***

    We are missing close-in shots mostly because they are off-balance and contested. Our offense puts shooters in the corners, but we don't work to get them the ball. So it seems that we are playing 3 or 4 against 5 defenders. Pretty easy to double team Ashley if she never passes it out to the...

    ***#20 Iowa State at Oklahoma State (Wed., 6:30)***

    It seems that she is coached to never, ever pass the ball once she gets it within 15 feet of the basket.

    ***#21 Iowa State at West Virginia (Saturday, 5:00)***

    Something is seriously wrong with this team. None of them seems to be having fun. No passing. Too much one-on-one play. Nobody can hit a 3 consistently (seems like all season long).

    ***WBB: ISU vs Winona State (exhibition) 11/2 6:30pm***

    Yes, but...she has played in International competitions with Brazil for the past 4 years. She has seen much better than Division III before.

    WBB: Frederick enters portal

    Perfect scenario for Maddie...a degree from Iowa State (I assume) and then two years of playing somewhere else and getting a Masters. All paid for. I wish her luck, she was always a favorite and I hoped her career as a Cyclone featured more playing time.

    Looking into the Future...

    Don't worry...I'm enjoying the present immensely. But a glance into the future of the WBB program is full of extreme potential as the current sophomore class progresses. 22-23 If Ashley chooses to take her COVID year, it is potentially the entire team (minus Frederick) returning with more...
