With the win today, the twisters sisters are very strong candidates to again make the NCAA Tournament and play in Wells Fargo in Des Moines.
ISU has wins over B10 leader Iowa, ranked CU and OSU on the road, as well as several close losses. All of this while playing in the best league in the country. And its not over either.
ISU will likely be a 6 or 7 seed in the B12 tournament and could possibly play OU, who
ISU lost to by 3, and then KSU, who
ISU again lost to by 3. If all the breaks fall right, the sisters could be playing in the B12 championship game. And then there is the NCAA tournament, where anything can happen, especially with
ISU playing in Des Moines.
This will be the 9th time Fennelly has lead
ISU to the NCAA Tournament with an Elite 8 and 2 sweet sixteen appearances. BF has also won Back-to-back B12 tournament titles and a B12 regular season title. He is an Iowan and has the longest tenure of any coach in the B12. He turned around a team with absolutely no history and consistently has them in the NCAA Tournament and in the Top 10 in the nation in attendance. And yet Fennelly has never won the B12 Coach of the Year. Well, I think this is the year. Fennelly has this team playing at a high level despite 2 season ending injuries and several other nagging injuries. And he is doing all of this with sophomores and freshman. The future couldn't be brighter either. Next year this team will have a serious shot at another B12 Title.
Thank you Fennelly for making
ISU proud and Thank you Jamie Pollard for locking up BF with a lifetime contract. Bill Fennelly is a true Iowan and a Cyclone and there is no better time to support the sisters.
