    2023-24 ISU WBB Season Thread

    In my mind, Hannah has been one of our most clutch players, hitting big shots at really critical times.

    ***#22 Iowa State vs. #17 Texas (Monday, 6:00)***

    Umm, the 30 second clock was at 19. They now use the clock rather than counting. I'm sure part of the rational for this is that the players can see it as well.

    ***#18 Iowa State at TCU (Wed., 6:30)***

    Didn't notice many fans. Kind of looked like a covid game.

    It feels like Robertson has been playing longer than Bohannon or Settles at Iowa.

    Sullivan to Missouri

    Congrats to her, Josh and the kids. I suspect she will do well, though the SEC is tough, not as tough as the B1G, but still tough.

    True. There has been some talk of raising the net.

    I watched about 1 1/2 sets. I thought Holthaus looked rusty, and some of the newbies are very talented. They seemed to have a good team dynamic.

    FERGUSON: Joens' return sets sky-high expectations for Iowa State in 2022-23 season

    STANZ: Freedom of movement is dead

    WBB: #7 Iowa State Hosts #15 Texas - 6:30 ESPN+
