*** WBB at UCF (Sat., 11:00 CT) ***

[StClone]

You should maybe take a walk and skip the MBB tonight.

Take the dog along too.

Never understand how or why girls would want to play basketball in long eyelashes. UCF has one with like 3 inch ones.

Down south there's a lot of gymnasium gnats. They're always buzzing around your eyes.. The long lashes are constantly swatting them away. Works better than Deep Woods OFF.

Did he just call her Audi Brooks?

I know someone who called her Audi Cooks.

Maybe we'll get all home games in the WNIT.

Been a long time since we've played in that. Wonder what attendance would be like?

I went to the WNIT men's and women's "doubleheader" way back. Not sure I'd go again today.

Official attendance yesterday in Orlando was 1088 - I'm assuming ISU would draw at least 5X that for a WNIT game.

It looked like their pep band had 50+ people

Anybody else notice someone or something do a very loud whooping noise when ISU was shooting FTs? It kind of sounded like a person but no way someone could be that loud with just their mouth. I would think devices would be outlawed so no idea what it was.

We are down 8 to one of the worst teams not only in the Big 12, in the COUNTRY

I found myself wondering how UCF could have only 1 conference win prior to playing us. They had some good players and seemed to do pretty well on both ends.

 

[Cycsk]

Hopefully not an omen for the guys. But losing to Baylor at Baylor isn't nearly embarrassing as this.

Both teams struggled making layups! Thanks for the jinx.

Wasn't very effective. We shot 86%. Our season average is 72%.

I went to that as well. I believe Hilton was sold out. I suspect a home WNIT game would draw similar to any home game…maybe slightly better.

We would certainly host. I'd guess a good crowd of 5000-6000 depending on the opponent. We drew 6200 last time we hosted NCAA game versus Georgia so that's my basis for 5-6K. I think if we get WNIT it's still maybe a decent draw since it's a team on the rise for the future more than a team that "missed the NCAA".

To be clear, just spitballing, we can still play our way into the NCAA's. We don't need to have anyone else beat someone for us, we just need to win the games we play.

That’s the key…this team is VERY capable of winning any number of games remaining on the schedule.
