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

    There's something weird going on with Trinity Washington. They only had five players play, and none of them are on the online roster. They've had a ton of cancelled games recently.

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

    You can see their single point in one of the worst made free throws you've ever seen at 51:05. She missed the rim entirely on her second free throw.

    WBB: Cyclones and Iowans Playing Pro Ball

    Brazil must beat Germany to be in the Olympics. If they win, there are two scenarios: Serbia beats Australia: Brazil is tied with Germany at 1-2 and advances to the Olympics due to head to head win. Australia beats Serbia: Three-way tie at 1-2. Germany beat Serbia by 7 and Serbia beat...

    Canada is in a rough spot. They lost 86-82 to Japan (Carleton led Canada with 19) and Hungary is beating Spain 39-27 in Q2. Spain probably knows it's clinched a spot in the Olympics now, so I imagine they aren't playing with the same urgency Hungary is.

    ***WBB: 2024 Recruiting Thread***

    Almost forgot about this. Noblesville was down 35-30 after three quarters, but came back to win 43-40. It's actually the regional final -- I misunderstood the bracket. They advance to the state semifinal next Saturday, I think.

    Agreed. Looked like a potential foul on the initial view, but the replay angle showed zero contact. Beautiful block.

    WBB: Cyclones and Iowans Playing Pro Ball

    One thing I meant to mention but forgot: France (Olympic host) and USA (FIBA 2022 World Cup winner) both have guaranteed spots. This means that in those tournaments the lowest team who is not the US or France is eliminated from Olympic participation. Both of those teams will be top-three in...

    49ers - Brock Purdy - Still and Always #1

    He's worn 13 his whole life (high school and earlier) because Dan Marino was his favorite QB. Wearing 15 at ISU is the outlier -- I'm guessing 13 wasn't available for him here. There are pics of him in high school and younger levels wearing #13 in this video. He's even wearing an ISU #13 in...

    WBB: Cyclones and Iowans Playing Pro Ball

    There are four qualifying tournaments, each with four teams. Top three teams from each tournament go to the Olympics (12 total of the 16 teams). Tiebreaker is point differential among the tied teams, so it is to your advantage to never take your foot off the gas. Canada is now 1-1 (beat...
