Women's March Madness: Cyclones vs Texas A&M 6 p.m. ESPN2
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
Our girls played their asses off! Proud of the effort and the season!!!
We have Maggie Vick coming in next year. She's 6'4 has been named as a Macdonald's All American Nominee. We have another stud guard coming in by the name of Denae Fritz. Mix them with everyone returning this year and a healthy Maggie Espenmiller-Mcgraw, and you have one hell of loaded roster.
Hoops thanks for stopping by the WBB thread. You always post good stuff.
Argh. When I saw Ashley breaking open in the lane, I thought we were going to win with a layup. Alas! Fouled from both sides, but no call by the refs.
Is that news out there somewhere? I could see with injury issues her moving on but like I've told others for lots of players college is where their basketball journey ends so if there is a chance for another run I see players coming back.
That over and back that didn't get called screwed Troy over big time. Terrible, terrible no call.
Even UConn agrees....
Mostly "good" stuff about ISU!! The thread made me feel a tiny bit better..
"Just finished watching the Iowa St. Texas A&M game. A&M pushed, elbowed, hooked and hit Ashley Joens so many times and very few foul calls. The most egregious foul was at the end where Nixon hooked Ashley's arm as she drove the lane. All Carolyn Peck could do was talk about how she thought the ball was last touched by Ashley. Nothing about her arm being hooked. I don't want to hear you can't call a foul in the last few seconds. If it's a foul in the first few seconds, then it's a foul in the last few seconds. Sorry, Iowa St. You were ripped off. Once again A&M gets the benefit of no foul calls. They didn't deserve to make it to the second round. Whoever they play next, I hope they wipe you off the court".
I will give them a pass for calling us "Iowa" one time. Guess they will figure it out at their next game..lol

It was simply pathetic. I wished CBF would have gotten a technical, Bill Self style.....
As much as I would’ve wanted that as a fan, gifting Tammy 2 free throws and possession could’ve been killer in a tight game like that.
Plus MEM should be back, she was a dandy till she got hurt.
For the first time since I joined the CF, I have witnessed a WBB game thread reaching 30 pages. Thanks to everyone for caring about our beloved Twister Sisters.

Letting the shot clock run out without getting a shot off in one of our last possessions in regulation says hello.
This team was really fun to watch this year! Tough loss but hope they can learn from it and keep the fire burning in the offseason. This freshman class is going to be fun to watch develop. Shout out to Kane who played well today. She was owning the boards!
Regarding the officiating controversy, aTm got favorable treatment two games in a row for a reason, so hear me out.
Take our football program as an example, you should be aware of the huge discrepancies in terms of being officiated between the Rhoads era and Campbell era. Why, the refs always favor better teams with winning records, the teams that can draw more eyeballs and make more money. If you are a program that's constantly in the top rankings of your sport, you will get the ref's respect and favorable calls.
Unless all the games are officiated by Artificial Intelligence refs who fully follow the rulebooks, there's no completely fairly called game. Most of the time it's the little guys taking the fall.
If our WBB team wants more respect from the refs in the future games, we got to win more games, improve our record and ranking, and attract more attention from outside the CylONEnation.
P.S.
1) The good news is our game was the most discussed one by far in this tournament on UConn's WBB board. Lots of sympathy from them.
2) If NCAA could issue a final 2-min officiating report as the NBA does in each game, I'd like to see how many mistakes the refs have made in our game.
