Survive and advance. Probably should have figured we would get Nebby's best shot. Their only hope to keep their miserable season alive was to knock us off. Thankfully... BF and crew did just enough to get the job done.

They mentioned on TV about Z not being down here/ or available. Said she was "hurt". Is she hurt or sick? Anybody know or willing to say?
I wondered about that. First it was hurt, then sick, but no specifics, like the flu, or ankle sprain, etc. Just seems odd it's so mysterious...

I thought this was Lauren Mansfield's best game of the year. Sans the missed free throws at the end, her outside shooting, rebounds, and limited turnovers were great.

The in-game blogger said she missed the trip down, joined them last night. Probably missed all the walk-throughs for the game, so doubtful she would have played even if she dressed. Hoping she is good to play tomorrow, we might need her spark!

Back at our hotel following this game. Knew Nebraska would probably give us one good game. I afraid to say it but the T on Pop was the right call. She did it because of the frustration of getting mauled all day. The T was the best thing to happen to us. We got most the calls the rest of the game and it woke up us ISU fans who quite frankly had been pathetic until that play. The Huskers are dead as Big 12 members. It's been a great ride. Good Luck in the Big 10 and please twice a year kick the Hawkeyes *****.

Gotta say I thought it was another god awful performance by the ladies. Very happy we pulled it out, but man it was too much of a struggle. Disappointing.

I'll be surprised if we can get KSU again tomorrow for the 3rd time. Chambers did nothing at the game in Manhatten. I expect her to light it up. Hopefully we can be better than the last 2 games...ughh.

We've had our share of bad performances, but I disagree about this one. We had some defensive lapses, but overall it wasn't poorly played. Nebraska played out of their minds for 35 minutes. If anything I think it's a testament to this ISU team to weather that and pull it out in the end.

Agreed. Maybe for awhile the team didn't take the Fuskers as a serious threat. This type of game could be the late season wakeup call they need to really get things going. K-State is going to have their hands full tomorrow. :yes:

I would have to disagree. It was not an intentional elbow to the head. It certainly wasn't intentional. I personally in the replays never saw the elbow above the shoulder let alone her leading with the elbow. If anything it should have just been a T and ISU's ball.

They must have called Pop for pushing her away with the forearm, because her elbow barely grazed the Nebraska player.

I agree with this. I have no idea way Neb GOT the ball after the T FT's.

Z did not go to Missouri on Saturday. The team went from Columbia to KC, so she had to come down. Bill said yesterday she would not play today when he talked to the media yesterday.

Go Cyclones - Amanda Zimmerman ill, didn’t travel to Missouri
