Just got home and posting thoughts before reading through the thread.
I'll glad eat some crow on the attendance. That was a legit sellout crowd and was so happy to see ISU wbb get a crowd like that for first time in a long time. Alloted student section were full as well. Seems like Hawk fans in building were mostly upstairs and didn't get very loud till the end.
Game thoughts. This was my first time seeing our Twister Sisters live in person and had really only watched the Drake game on TV.
So impressed with Crooks, she is taking to Div 1 basketball like a fish to water. She was schooling Iowa's posts and I think us getting away from going to here in the 2nd half cost us. Bristow was my favorite going into the season but she had a tough one tonight. She was way to timid going to the basket.
It felt like toward the end of the game we were doing to much 1 on 1 stuff instead of playing team ball.
I was overall highly encouraged with what I saw. I thought Iowa would name the score. Iowa also though isn't the team they were last year as well. Clark is Clark but supporting cast isn't as strong as last year.
If we take away the 80% of the game we played tonight going forward I like our chances to do something special yet.
