    Agreed. Unfortunately I don’t think BF will ever go after this type of player but man, ISU needs some physicality. It sucks knowing you won’t beat certain teams unless you’re lights out from 3 because you know you will get out toughed.

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

    Hindsight is 20/20 but BF only bringing in Soares has been a huge negative. He really needed to bring in another guard who can score the ball. Is this the worst bench BF has ever had? When Morgan Kane is the only bench player you can get anything from, you’re in trouble. The Soares injury really...

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

    Two things I didn’t really expect to see happen this year outside of losing Soares for the season. -A huge decrease in 3 point shooting. The team was ELITE last year. There was multiple games last year where the team was pushing 20 made 3’s in a game. -The inability to take care of the call...

    Emily Ryan has also regressed this year. Hopefully this team does enough and finds a way to make the tournament still. As for next year, life without Joens and Soares could be scary, especially if Donarski and Ryan don’t regain their sophomore year abilities.

    That game was stolen from us.

    They only made 8. While I usually agree with this, had we not over helped and left them open, they probably end up getting a foul call anyways. All those wide open 3’s and we still got called for 30 fouls… run them off the 3 point and we probably get called for 40 fouls and have 5 guys foul out...

    That game was stolen from us.

    I did a little research. I’m sure every team in the league would have more fouls called on the road than their opponent but I’d be shocked if any team has as drastic of a difference as ISU does. At home, the games have been called fairly even and ISU has won their 5 conference games by a total...

    Twister Sister Summary - Ladies handle overmatched SIUE

    Interesting. I know we played 12 non conference games last year though. Why is the NCAA trying to decrease games? It always used to be 31 games. 30 minimum. Outside of the COVID shortened year I don’t remember us ever playing less than 30 games and I’ve had season tickets for years.

    Twister Sister Summary - Ladies handle overmatched SIUE

    Question, why is ISU only playing 11 non conference games this year (vs 13) and 29 total games instead of 31? They have some tough games remaining too. @ Iowa, @ #25 Villanova and vs Drake. It’s somewhat realistic they head into conference play with only 8/9 total wins.

    Kylie Feuerbach in transfer portal

    Why would she have been coming off the bench? Wise and Scott are both gone so the door was pretty open for her I’d imagine.. ISU only has 3 starters returning.

    Kylie Feuerbach in transfer portal

    What a slap in the face to the Iowa State program and the Iowa State fan base. I’m sorry, but I’m not sorry about not rooting for her..

    I don’t want to put the blame on Bill though without knowing the whole situation. I speculated on that earlier but he could’ve done everything right and she just wasn’t happy here. Who really knows but like you said, I’m very puzzled by this. I was excited to see this freshman class for 4 years...

    Madison Wise grad transferring

    Izzi definitely has the most potential of the 3, especially offensively. It was good to get her in the program early. I would have felt better about her being a starter next year if she saw a little more playing time this year but it’s understandable why she didn’t. All the minutes she got were...

    Madison Wise grad transferring

    The 5th starter would have to be someone not on roster right now. I don’t see Kane, Izzy or Vick being starter quality.

    Madison Wise grad transferring

    Completely understandable but it sucks to see. Hopefully nobody else leaves and Kristin Scott returns so we can get the good news rolling again.

    Kylie Feuerbach in transfer portal

    Emiah Bingley to Florida State where she averaged about 5/6 PTS per game over 3 years and made 89 3’s. Kylie has to be the most talented and biggest surprise transfer ISU has had in what, 15 years?

    I hate to break it to you but when a player transfers, it’s usually because of something the head coach did. If a player is fully happy with their role, PT, etc, they aren’t leaving. She had the PT so I’m guessing she thought she should have had a bigger role on offense than she did.

    Next year loses all of its excitement and momentum if Ryan or Lexi also left. I don’t even want to think about that. The program was in a great spot with a very bright future heading into next year before Kylie transferred. Hopefully it stops there..

    I didn’t miss a game. He was a little more lenient on that but he must’ve done something wrong for her to transfer out of the blue like this because she seemed to love Iowa State.

    Getting benched after every mistake isn’t for everyone. Bill is a great coach but when you coach that way, you risk losing kids.

    I really can’t believe this one. This freshman class had the potential to do unreal things in Ames. Sad to see it fall apart after just one (good) year. She was going to have an even bigger role next year with Wise graduating. Most important thing going forward now is making sure the rest of the...
