    Kylie Feuerbach in transfer portal

    Hardly. AJ is a fantastic player! Just gets so old watching CBF pucker in the last 3-4 minutes of regulation and overtime and leaving her literally zero options but to force up bad shots because of all five opponents collapsing and zero movement from our other players. These other four players...

    Players get tired being told to stand in the corner game after game to watch one player go one on five in the last three minutes of games.

    The 2021 NCAA WBB Tournament Discussion Thread (Go Cyclones!)

    Improving upon weaknesses and making proper adjustments... Common sense stuff that sadly Bill can't seem to do. How many times in the last 3-4 minutes of games do we not run one single possession of solid offense. Ball sticks, panic sets in... you know the drill. Snatching defeat from the...

    Twister Sister Summary - Season ends in the worst way

    ABSOLUTELY SPOT ON CyclonesFan4ever! Making proper adjustments, being flexible, playing team ball (the entire game) and in particular designing the offense to allow players to play to their strengths are the hallmarks of a top level coach. It seems as if CBF is only an advocate of "playing to...

    Women's March Madness: Cyclones vs Texas A&M 6 p.m. ESPN2

    CYDJ writes: "Would you have called into question TAMs coach for putting the ball into Nixon's hands at the end of that game? No, why? Because she made the shot." My answer: If Gary had been unsuccessful at doing this for several possessions because all five defenders are realizing that Nixon...

    Women's March Madness: Cyclones vs Texas A&M 6 p.m. ESPN2

    Sadly, CBF takes the collar in late game situations. Without question, you get the ball into the hands of your best offensive weapons, but in the mean time, you MUST keep the opponents' other four defenders honest with player movement (i.e. screening of any sort, basket cuts, etc.) The whole...

    Stagnant Offense Stinks

    The offense we run is beyond putrid. Dribble the freakin' air out of the ball possession after possession while the other three/four players stand & watch. All too often we either take a quick bad shot by the only player who has touched the ball in the front court with no offensive rebounders...

    ***ISU vs CMU***

    Mickey mouse box/diamond & 1 defense - smoke & mirrors against an M.A.C. school? Embarassing. Don't ALL FIVE CM starters average double figures? Why not match up mono to mono and have our young lasses LEARN a bit. You know, challenge them? Our offense looks like a junior high YMCA offense...

    RECRUITING: Madison Wise in town this weekend

    In Indiana some this week and heard the word from several college and top level high school coaches that the Wise girl is the most complete all around player in the Hoosier State and among the top handful or two in the nation. One coach mentioned that she could step in to the college scene...

    RECRUITING: Madison Wise in town this weekend

    Word out of Indianapolis is that our Cyclones are still very much in the mix for Madison. Apparently this 6'1 "Point Forward" has a very high b-ball I.Q., is long and athletic, and has a non-stop motor. She can play numerous positions on both ends of the floor. Also extremely unselfish and a...
