    Twister Sister Summary - Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire!

    I can't stand it and don't listen to our radio broadcasts any more. I also have stopped listening to the post-game interviews because her questions seem to ramble on for a minute.

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    I don't think that is the reason. Just no place to buy gas or go to the bathroom. Closest little town could be miles from the exit.

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    I have a similar experience, but Pierre is virtually a traffic jam compared to I-94 in the middle of North Dakota. Exit signs all say "No Services".

    About the Dakotas... My wife and I are in the process of visiting all 50 state capitols. In my research, I have learned the history of many of our states. One reason the Dakota Territory was split was that the Republicans gained four senators (rather than two) in Washington when the two...

    ***Iowa State vs. #14 Oklahoma (Sat., 2:30)***

    This is the most sharing of the ball that I've seen in many weeks from our gals...and it is working great!

    ***Iowa State vs. #14 Oklahoma (Sat., 2:30)***

    I've always thought there should be more no calls when offensive players initiate the contact.

    2 passes on that possession provides 3 points

    Have we passed the ball yet?

    What is Going On with Emily Ryan?

    She has struggled pretty all of the Big 12 season this year. Lots of turn-overs, few points, getting into foul trouble too often, too much dribbling, too slow to guard opposing guards from driving into the lane...

    ***#20 Iowa State at Oklahoma State (Wed., 6:30)***

    We are missing close-in shots mostly because they are off-balance and contested. Our offense puts shooters in the corners, but we don't work to get them the ball. So it seems that we are playing 3 or 4 against 5 defenders. Pretty easy to double team Ashley if she never passes it out to the...

    ***#20 Iowa State at Oklahoma State (Wed., 6:30)***

    It seems that she is coached to never, ever pass the ball once she gets it within 15 feet of the basket.

    ***#21 Iowa State at West Virginia (Saturday, 5:00)***

    Something is seriously wrong with this team. None of them seems to be having fun. No passing. Too much one-on-one play. Nobody can hit a 3 consistently (seems like all season long).

    ***WBB: ISU vs Winona State (exhibition) 11/2 6:30pm***

    Yes, but...she has played in International competitions with Brazil for the past 4 years. She has seen much better than Division III before.

    WBB: Frederick enters portal

    Perfect scenario for Maddie...a degree from Iowa State (I assume) and then two years of playing somewhere else and getting a Masters. All paid for. I wish her luck, she was always a favorite and I hoped her career as a Cyclone featured more playing time.

    Looking into the Future...

    Don't worry...I'm enjoying the present immensely. But a glance into the future of the WBB program is full of extreme potential as the current sophomore class progresses. 22-23 If Ashley chooses to take her COVID year, it is potentially the entire team (minus Frederick) returning with more...

    Twister Sister Summary - D*E*F*E*N*S*E = Sweet Sixteen Baby!

    Completely agree. The future is bright with these players just getting better and better. Izzy looked more comfortable to me than she has most of the season. She grabs rebounds better than most post players, very seldom does she fumble them away. Diew gives us some height/length to really...

    ***WBB: CYCLONE 2023 Recruiting Thread***

    I thought that Izzy was considered a true Freshman this year because her short time on the squad last season did not count against her eligibility. But I guess she wouldn't have the option of the COVID year?

    Ashley Joens Future

    I saw one list that had the first 10 picks and Ashley was not on the list.

    ***#9 Iowa State vs. Texas Tech (Saturday, 1:00)***

    Yep, but I'm not sure it matters all that much. Even if Baylor loses, I think our game with them is still for the league championship assuming both teams win the games they are supposed to win. If Baylor beats us (even with a loss to Kansas), we would be tied with them and they get the...

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

    If we win out (includes Baylor of course), I would think we move up the #2 ladder and potentially get into the Wichita regional and away from SC and UConn. Who knows, maybe somebody gets beat and we end up a #1 seed.
