    Clark (IA) vs Harmon (TX)

    While I would prefer they both lost in the first round, the possibility exists in the Elite 8 for Caitlyn Clark of Iowa and Rori Harmon of Texas to go head to head. Could be interesting to watch, Iowa's elite offensive player vs Texas elite defensive player. Would rather defense won that battle.

    Wild, Wild West

    I think there can be no doubt that the future of college sports in now completely in the hands of the 18-20 year old athletes playing whichever sport is being considered. Unlimited transfers, high dollar money available, what more could a 19 year old ask for? Welcome to the Wild, Wild West.

    Punter Steps

    I think I saw ISU's punter with a 3-step kick. Did I not see it correctly? If so, that is a big part of the reason for the blocks. Gives the rushers more time in which to cover less distance. Have to fix that.

    Wednesday AM Game?

    I keep seeing the Sisters game with Oklahoma is scheduled for 10:30AM on February 20. What is up with the morning start time on a Wednesday? Thought my sports app was messed up but it is the same on the Cyclones.com page. Anyone have some insight?

    Carleton Blog from Canadian Team

    Great to hear about her experience with the Canadian team. This kind of training and experience can't do anything except improve her game even more. http://cyclones.com/news/2017/7/19/womens-basketball-carleton-blogs-from-national-team-training-camp.aspx

    Was Today a First

    Does anyone know if the ISU men's and women's teams have ever both beaten ranked teams on the road on the same day?

    Conflicting Call on Fouls

    I know (or at least I think I know) that there is a lead referee and two umpires on a 3-person basketball officiating crew. Today in the ISU-Texas game, 3rd quarter I think, one official called an offensive foul on Heather and another official called a blocking foul on the Texas player. It was...

    WBB Reporting by Register

    Both the Sisters and UofI women played Sunday. The Register really demonstrated their bias this morning reporting on the games. The UofI game got 50 column-inches of coverage and the Sisters were given a box score (if you could find it). I know the Register is really the Hawkeye Register but...

    Simeon Carter - ISU Wildcard?

    I haven't seen this posted here but there is an interesting story on Fox Sports website discussing Simeon Carter's role on the ISU team. Need a grain of salt here since the author references Cam Lard as part of the team. Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think that has happened or if it did I...

    Herman getting mentions at PSU

    Just saw this list of possible candidates for the Penn State job. Tom Herman gets some serious mention for this or another head coach job. Hope it is another job. From O'Brien's comments, it sounds like it wasn't much fun coaching there. Think the next guy will have just as much problem. 10...

    Depth Issues & Number on Roster

    At the time Emiah left and actually a number of times in prior years, we've heard Bill and others speak about depth issues on the team. Having counted the number of players on the roster as 12 with Emiah and 11 without her and knowing that the NCAA limit on scholarships was 15, I wondered why we...

    Baylor Sanctions

    The link below takes you to an article about Syracuse and their recent drug policy problems. My real question though comes from a sentence very near the bottom of the article talking about the possibility of Syracuse being accused of "lack of institutional control for failing to adhere to its...

    Jacobson on A&M List?

    This doesn't directly affect us in Cyclone Nation but an article in the Omaha World-Herald today has Ben Jacobson's name on the list of the potentials for the A&M job. Wonder what if anything that he learned from McDermott's experience? Sadler says he has not heard from A&M - Omaha.com

    Insight Bowl on BTN?

    While we were watching the Twisters Sisters beat Minnesota yesterday, at least once a list of upcoming Minnesota events was shown that included their trip to the Insight bowl. Does anyone know if the Big Ten Network has rights to that game? I know the NFL network is the primary outlet but hoped...
