*** OU vs ISU ***

[BenEClone]

The Iowa State women's basketball team (11-8, 3-5 Big 12) hosts No. 21 Oklahoma (14-5, 5-3 Big 12) Saturday, Jan. 30 at 1 p.m. in Hilton Coliseum. Saturday's game will air on FSN. The Cyclones have won six of the last eight meetings against the Sooners.

TV: FSN - I'm getting it on Fox Sports Midwest
Talent: Bob Licht (PxP), Brenda VanLengen (Color)

The source of hope is that we have overachieved against OU. Also, we are so very close to being 6-2 instead of 3-5. It is Hilton where we are 8-2 and the Sooners are 1-3 on the road in conference play.

Shaya Kellogg and Maddie Manning are Iowa escapees who, I don't think, have ever hurt us, yet. Kaylon Williams 6'3" sr. 13.8 ppg; Peyton Little 5'11" jr. 12.2 ppg; Manning 8.7 ppg; and backup center Vionise Pierre-Louis 6'4" so. 7.8 ppg. Little scored 23 pts in the second half in a comeback win over WVU.

So sad to watch our NCAA streak slip away - a win today could stop that slide.

Be at the game with my radio in hand to listen to the men's game.

ISU up 35-28 at the half. Emily with 10. Sherri has used 11 players.

That 8 point lead disappeared pretty quick. But they're coming back now. 6 Minutes to cave in or take over.

Valiant, but a 13 point deficit in the 3rd doomed us - 77-71. Had chances in the last minute, but didn't happen. Kidd 1/6 for 3 pts. Jadda-16 Seanna-18 and Bridget-15 - great trio - all coming back. Emily didn't score in 2nd, but can't complain about her 10. Mere had 7, not bad against a pair of good post players.

You've got three players that score 15, 16, & 18 points and still lose. Others are just not picking up the slack. Blaskowsky just isn't producing. 3 points. 1 of 6 shots.

Don't understand why Durr who played so well in 1st half didn't see the court until real late in the 3rd - when OU went on the run.SMH

This team better get a win at KU or the wheels will really fall of this bus. Being behind the OU bench I can say their girls are just as obnoxious as their men's team. Girls at the end of the bench were standing most of the game and a few times were even on the court. I hate OU in all sports.

Also don't understand why we didn't offer Manning?

Someone from Ankney at the time said that even though they were ISU fans that they were happy she went away to school. She said that it would NOT have been in her best interest to be 20 minutes from home.

We noticed this all game also. Why weren't they told to sit the F down by the refs? And if they WERE, why didn't they? I have a hard time believing Coale doesn't care if her bench follows protocol on what is supposed to be accepted behavior during a game. I don't like that team or their fans, either, and take great joy whenever they lose a game to anyone.

The refs said something I think late in 3rd quarter and then Coale went over and said something to them. Still didn't stop them from standing. I think a technical on bench should of occurred.

Never knew the whole story behind that one.

I'm not sure of my memory on this one. I thought we had offered her, but she was set on going elsewhere. So I believe the offer was more of a courtesy to the local girl than anything else. There was little expectation she would accept. This was different from Nesbitt because there just wasn't the interest (or space for a guard) at that time. Again, I may not be remembering this all correctly as it was a number of years ago now (and I don't usually keep close tabs on people we don't get). But this seems to be what I recall.

The parents of her teammates on the Kingdom Hoops squad (the AAU team that she played on) have told me that ISU did not offer her.
