    Breaking down the bubble...

    The Committee slavishly follows the official line. We, #34 NET, are in absent another melt down with losses to OSU and WVU. Any reasonable seed gets a first round win and a close loss to a 1 or 2 seed.

    WBB: General Thread of Cyclones Women's Hoops 2021-2022 Season

    Hoosiers have taken some lumps lately, but I haven't watched them so don't know their proper place.

    ISU WBB and NBA Rules

    Unclear what the NBA rules are, but there does seem to be less body contact in the NBA than what is allowed in Big XII. I thought OU tried to get TU physical in 3rd but refs and ISU would have none of it.

    Latest bracketology has Nebraska coming to Ames - if so, they should bring people and they are a very capable team.

    photos from Oklahoma State vs ISU WBB

    Closeups show how much contact there is in this no contact sport. Guessing you’re on the floor when you take these - do you need a press pass?

    ***#11 Iowa State vs. Oklahoma State (Saturday, 6:00)***

    ISU turned a corner - may have been during the BU-UT slump. A much better team when depending on Ashley a little less.

    ***#11 Iowa State vs. #25 Kansas State (Wed., 6:30)***

    Watching Lee against TT tonight - moving well from rim to rim, making shots 12/15 for 31 pts. Still a force.

    ***#11 Iowa State vs. #25 Kansas State (Wed., 6:30)***

    Watched again - KSU missed wide open shots and Lee was off on shots she normally makes. Some of that was D, some was just them. I hope the kid recovers, but as a veteran of bad knees, I wonder if this might be nearing the end for Lee who already has a degree.

    WBB: Ashley Joens record watch

    “Super senior” stats built over a five year career will need an asterisk- they shouldn’t be compared to four year athletes.

    ***#11 Iowa State vs. #25 Kansas State (Wed., 6:30)***

    I'm going to attribute this to defense-kept waiting for fireworks which never happened. Lee 12 pts 8 bds - Kane/Jordao 11 pts 9 bds. Sundell was a minor factor in points and assists (3/4) Ashley had a quiet dble dble while Ryan and Donarski took over for 15@. Diew is coming into her own (10...

    Kayla Caffey, still enrolled at Nebraska wants to return for a seventh season. Makes five pale by comparison.

    ***#11 Iowa State vs. #25 Kansas State (Wed., 6:30)***

    Glad I'm not the coach - KSU is scary good. Is there a way to control/limit Ayoka Lee? She shoots 58% on the season. Maybe keep the ball from getting to her in the paint. 6'1" frosh guard Serena Sundell may be key. She leads the team in assists and is second in scoring. ISU held her to 4...

    ***WBB: #13 Iowa State vs. Kansas (Wed., 6:30 p.m.)***

    This has been a reliable W for a few years. Not so now. ISU needs to regain their mojo to best the team which beat Texas in Austin.

    WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

    Individual stats are not irrelevant. I can see CBF leaving Ashley in when the game has been decided. She’s earned the right to pursue national recognition.

    Stacey and Brenda's Dad passes away

    The Frese family certainly left their mark on Iowa State women’s basketball. So sorry for your loss.

    Twister Sister Summary - the end result is good

    Mulkey is much the same - she worried about a let up which could lose a game. A game lost could knock her off the top seed making a NC less likely.

    WBB - ISU @ OSU

    Aubrey averages over 9 ppg for all games while scoring 4 pts total in five conference games. She has the fourth most minutes played and continues to start which suggests CBF has confidence that she will contribute at her former level. With UT and BU next up on the schedule we need all hands on...

    WBB - ISU @ OSU

    Did anyone get to watch Aubrey? Starts are rewards for practice effort - but she’s not performing in games.
