    WBB: Cyclones and Iowans Playing Pro Ball

    USA is struggling against the home team Belgium in a different qualifying tournament. 30-19 Belgium partway through Q2. To keep this somewhat relevant to the thread, Belgium is led by notable near-Cyclone Julie Vanloo with 9 points...

    Of course he isn't. That's ridiculous. He's a paparazzo. Paparazzi is plural.

    Christy Johnson-Lynch signs extension

    Looks like Beauty and the Beast requires removal of one set of end bleachers and one side of arena circle seats, but regular gymnastics does not, at least for a dual. For a gymnastics competition with four teams, you need to make sure you have areas for all four teams to congregate. Regular...

    Mojo Nixon has left the building

    I haven't heard his other stuff, but his album "Horny Holidays" is a Christmas favorite.

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

    Yep. Our defense is all about forcing teams to take shots they don't want. Sometimes they make those shots.

    2023-24 ISU WBB Season Thread

    If we do end up in the WNIT, one advantage is the likelihood of more games for Emily Ryan to chase the career assists record, since we are more likely to advance further there than in the NCAA Tournament.

    ISU Beats UCONN Retrospective

    The UConn game was on a channel the dorm cable package didn't have (probably ESPN2 or ESPNU), so I watched it with a few dozen people on the display TVs at the North Grand Sears. I watched the Georgia game at a local restaurant for the same reason -- I don't remember much as Kaleidoquiz had...

    ***WBB 23-24 Record Watch***

    Updated with Saturday's game. I'm no longer picking and choosing categories -- I'm pasting in everything. One thing of note: Audi hit 250 FGA, so she now appears in the career FG% list.

    Noblesville up 27-21 at half. Hamilton got five straight to end the half after a 15-point run by Noblesville. Nice play by Wilson here.

    Good call bringing this up. Wilson's Noblesville team is solid but not spectacular (15-8 record). They won their first postseason game yesterday, 56-42 in the sectional semifinal. The sectional final is tonight at 7pm.

    2024 solar eclipse

    I think that's basically what my parents did. They had nothing but clouds but suddenly had a clearing about 15 minutes before totality. My wife, kids, and I had just visited them in central Iowa and were on our way to Florida. We spent the night before the eclipse in north central Mo and...
