    Joens Signed by Las Vegas Aces / Wings / Mercury X 2

    Dinamo Sassari lost the away game of a Euro Cup playoff to a French team on 1/11, and Ash had a mediocre game. Her roommate in Sassari, Deborah Hollingshead from Puerto Rico, had a decent game: https://www.eurobasket.com/Basketball-Box-Score.aspx?Game=2024_0111_61519_7608-Eurocup Dinamo...

    **** WBB: ISU vs #4 Baylor Saturday 12 pm ESPN+ GAME THREAD ****

    Precocious doesn't begin to describe this freshman class! Addy Brown isn't fazed by anything. Audi Crooks stares at the 6'7 defender brought in specifically to intimidate and goes right thru her. Kelsey Joens making plays all over the court and playing fine help defense. Bristow had two...

    **** WBB: ISU vs #4 Baylor Saturday 12 pm ESPN+ GAME THREAD ****

    In an illustration of today's college basketball realities, exactly one of those thousand point scorers is home-grown by Baylor, Sarah Andrews. Senior Madison Bartley spent three years at Belmont. Senior Aijha Blackwell spent three years at Missouri. Senior Dree Edwards spent one year at Utah...

    ***2023 GB Packers Thread***

    The Cowboys run defense is suspect and Aaron Jones finished the season with 3 straight hundred yard games. Packers control the clock with Jones and hope for Dak to turn it over once or twice. JLove converts in the red zone and the Packers shock the world and advance as a 7 seed. Go Pack Go!

    **** WBB: ISU vs #4 Baylor Saturday 12 pm ESPN+ GAME THREAD ****

    The lop-sided Baylor loss at KU gave reason to pause - how did they do it? Baylor starts four guards and they shot poorly. KU pounded it inside to Taiyanna Jackson and she dominated, with 29 points and 19 boards. Since we have a strong inside presence, I think we’ve got a puncher’s chance. We...

    ***WBB: 2024 Recruiting Thread***

    I don’t want to minimize their accomplishments, but I don’t believe this is particularly meaningful. I played at a very small HS in central Iowa and my coach nominated me many years ago. McD’s sent me a nice certificate which amused my oldest son many years later. Here’s the nomination...

    WBB: 2023-24 Former Cyclones Now at Other Schools Tracker

    I heard nothing and I’m not speculating, but Maggie Vick attended Lakeview Christian HS in TN and is now attending Pepperdine, a school closely associated with the Church of Christ. I don’t believe that’s coincidence.

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    We were on Spring Break at the San Diego Zoo with the kids many years ago. Our shuttle included a squat guy and his family, decked out in hawk black and gold from head to toe, talking loudly to anybody who made eye contact. I successfully avoided him on the shuttle, but two hours later we're...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    The ticket prices are inflated, but not to these levels. I have a friend with five EIU WBB season tickets - he, his daughter, her husband and their two elementary school aged sons attend. The kids can’t do the late week night games because they live an hour away and have school. I was a guest...

    WBB: 2023-24 Former Cyclones Now at Other Schools Tracker

    Over Xmas break, I had a direct interaction with a current (and a former) player. The current player shared “they” heard DF predicted ISU would finish last in conference this season. Whether she actually did or not is immaterial, it’s strong bulletin board material. Go State - not that they...

    Something about a Blind Squirrel comes to mind - I wasn't feeling very comfortable with that prediction four minutes into the third quarter, when WVU had a 98.6% win probability! What a comeback - I'm still smiling about it!!!

    “Cancel culture is a phrase used to refer to a cultural phenomenon in which some who are deemed to have acted or spoken in an unacceptable manner are ostracized, boycotted, or shunned.” It’s not enough to celebrate an unlikely comeback win with other Cyclone fans (98.6% probability of loss), we...

    Twister Sister Summary - Never Give Up...Never Surrender!

    How good has Hannah Belanger been, steady game in and game out? I remember an article at the time she signed with ISU, where she said she’d been in the portal for three months with no contact from anybody, and I thought, “this is our Lexi replacement?” She’ll never win Big XII Defensive...
