    Cyclones vs. South Dakota

    We need to improve our zone defense, it has been crucial for many of our big Hilton upsets over the years. It takes so long to teach, opponents can't simulate a good zone in practice. We have been recruiting better speed, so the zone isn't as needed as it used to be. But I still enjoy it when we...

    Lacey's triple-double dominates Hawkeyes

    REPLAY Saturday noon-2pm, if their website is to be believed. This one needs to be on DVD, to be followed by Aus's season highlights! I've never seen steals like she is making, she must be a mindreader...

    WBB: ISU vs Arkansas - Pine Bluff

    Pop was getting her usual great looks, and they often weren't going. In time... Gen tried driving from the line to the basket past 3 players, lost it out of bounds and didn't come back in again. If she got to play more, maybe she would let the game come to her more. Chicken and the egg...

    WBB @ Drake game thread

    Poppins is still jumping center, and its nice to be winning the tip a lot more often. I think our best chance to win is to rotate two posts and let them take advantage of what the defense is giving them. Prins is obviously pressing with the speed of the help defense. With repetition she'll get...

    WBB @ Drake game thread

    Coach said she only came to ISU because this is where she could be a complete basketball player. If you recruit someone that way, you should really live up to your word. Besides, versatility is key to winning. Courtney Paris promised a national championship, but they were beaten by a team with...

    WBB @ Drake game thread

    Prins might be our best defensive rebounder, but she is far from our best offensive rebounder. Presumably she will be guarded by their best defensive rebounder. Coach says she is the best 3 point shooter in practice, by far. Does it begin to make sense to you? If she comes out to the 3 point...

    WBB @ Drake game thread

    Sometimes a loss is better in the long run, the freshmen have to adjust their games to the kind of pressure defense they'll see every night later in the season. I just wish Anna was popping out for a 3 more often. When we have more than 3 assists from the rest of the team, that'll be a good...

    What happened to Ashley Arlen

    Does anyone know what her boyfriend is up to? I figured that was as likely a major impact on her decision as anything. I miss the days when you could find out so much about players from their Facebook page, but it's probably good those days have ended.

    Concern about Depth

    I got the sense that Anna and Amanda could play if needed Sunday, but probably won't dress if everyone else can play. Genesis is still a week to 2 weeks away, was my sense.

    Who will be the biggest surprise this year??

    I hope Gen, Anna and Shellie come up big in their senior season. Our attainment of consistency and success really rests on them stepping up to the next level. Freshmen are rarely consistent enough at both ends to be the girders of a really good team.

    Will Anna Prins dunk while at ISU??

    She could certainly get a Shaq dunk, where he almost gets to half court and so gets the wide open dunk coming the other way:)

    Point guard next season?

    I bet the coaches are really looking forward to this year, roles 3-10 are wide open, and everyone has the motivation of knowing they can play if they can make progress this off season. I still think they'll hope WW can start at point, and then Aus can be the crunch time playmaker. I also think...

    Point guard next season?

    I'm sure everyone hopes WW improves enough off season to be starting pg. Then the other 4 guards with pg experience can play off in practice to see what the order is. Everyone but Aus will have to improve to fill in for Ezell.

    Nicky Wieben's Career

    If only, if only. If Rachel Pierson had stayed, then Nicky could have developed more of a Dirk Nowitzki game that matches her true talents. She gave it her all, I hope she gets to play in more fun situations before her playing days are done. Thanks Nicky, Amanda, T, Jos, Heather!

    Arlen/Yackley to Transfer

    Two things to consider that haven't been brought up. One would be serious relationships/boyfriends, and another would be the position coach, which is in some ways as important as the head coach. Its hard for us, we prefer to have players to cheer for the full 4 years, but life happens. They...
