***#19 #23 Iowa vs ISU***

[BoxsterCy]

A little off topic but still Big 12 WBB. Watching Notre Dame play at TCU on FSN and it looks like a HS gym they are playing in. Is that really their regular venue for WBB? Why the hell would Notre Dame travel to play in that little tiny gym?

Of course announcers have to mention the big comeback against us last year. Ha, like TCU is going to comeback from 20 down against the #3 Irish.

Man I would love a national game (this one is regional Fox) like this at Hilton. Chance for some people to see our gals who nobody outside of the Big 12 sees play.

Edit: we are on national broadcast once this year and it will be a game at Hilton vs. Baylor so that will draw some viewers.

Ah, the answer. Announcers said TCU is playing in the rec center awaiting the move into new digs.

Iowa falls out of the rankings.







RESTORING ORDER: A week after losing to six unranked opponents, the poll had a stellar week against unranked teams, going 22-1. Iowa suffered the lone defeat, losing to rival Iowa State 69-66.

Hawks dropped out of AP, but settled at 24 in USA and 27 rpi. We're at 98 rpi. The New Orleans (342) wouldn't have helped. We've got a couple of weeks and two games before we go to KSU.

Attendance of Iowa State vs Iowa was announced at 11373 (for what that's worth), and Disterhoft says the atmosphere had nothing to do with the outcome of the game:

"@Stanz51: Ally Disterhoft said the atmosphere had nothing to do with the outcome of the game"


Yet last night in Carver there were 4959 for Iowa vs Rutgers and she talks about momentum swinging in their favor because of the crowd after hitting big shots. Kids are funny.

Disterhoft has a different attitude this year, and I am not really fond of it. I think she is a good basketball player and had hoped she would be a Cyclone coming out of high school, but her actions and words rub me the wrong way. I tuned in later in their Nebraska game and heard the announcers say that she had been benched after a skirmish. If this is her way of taking a leadership role, it is odd.

Iowa is 12-2 so our beating them was due in-part to home cooking in front of a Hilton crowd. Can't see where Ally would believe otherwise other than bravado.
