#25 ISU WBB Big 12 Opener - KSU tonight

[runbikeswim]

I'm excited! ISU opens big 12 play ranked in the top 25.
Hope the team makes a big statement tonight. KSU on paper appears decent, with a core of Goth, Williams, Carr and Ranke. Their big post Williams is averaging 15.2 points a game. 4 of 5 starters averaging double figures and over 30 minutes each, so balanced offense, but relies heavily on starting line up. Guards are tall, so we won't have that usual advantage.

I'd imagine ISU will push the ball hard on offense, but I'd also like to see some press and trap a bit on defense to wear out KSU early and they aren't the best ball handlers averaging 16 turnovers a game.

Go Cyclones!

Ah, c’mon, you’re all loud and distinctive! You’re an institution

Started watching the game early in the 3rd. Is Bridget playing low post defense when Ines is in the game? That's an interesting idea.

96-58 final. Wow. KSU looked completely overmatched in the second half.

96-58 final. Wow. KSU looked completely overmatched in the second half.

Saw how scary good this team can be when they hit some shots, with Middleton's and Joen's confidence picking up steam, pretty unstoppable. Felt bad for Maddy, she just couldn't seem to get into the fun, but KSU seemed to be keying on her.

Reminded me of games when Lacy, Bolte, Nisleit, and Ezell would be hot. Hard to believe that roster was 10 years ago....

Have we ever had a player with the moxy and swagger of Alexis?

Just watched the highlights, looked like a great game by Scott. Going to have to catch the replay on Friday.

The game would not stream on Cyclone TV for me. I just got to see little snatches of it. I tried everything I could think of to get it to work. Nothing functioned so I figured it had to do with the ISU side, or the signal to this part of the world. I haven't had this happen in a long time.

Mitt, not sure why you could not see it. I was at the game but also TIVO'ed it and have watched it again to see what I missed at the game.

It was the first time I had trouble in a long time. Wonder if it had something to do with the local internet. At the same time anything else streamed fine. I put it on to see if anyone else had a problem, I can watch the replay later, but it annoyed me at the time.

Cyclone radio was not working on TuneIn last night either. I listened to the "technical difficulties" message for 20 minutes before giving up.

 

[mred]

I streamed cyclones.tv video for most of the second half, and I had no issues.

I believe it, I have had other people say they had problems when it worked fine for me.

Well I guess we wont have to worry about Lakes during the game at Manhattan.
