My story from Iowa City tonight. Really like how it came out. This team can be great, but it has to play to its strengths. Let me know what you think.

WBB: Iowa State gets harsh reminders during Cy-Hawk loss

Iowa City, Iowa - Iowa ran away with Wednesday's Cy-Hawk women's basketball game, beating Iowa State 70-57. It's the eighth-straight Cy-Hawk game the Hawkeyes have taken away from Bill Fennelly's squad in Iowa City. This was a reality check for Iowa State. "I really don't know," Fennelly said

Lots to analyze in this game. I see three distinct factors that account for the point differential for the game.

1. Free throws. I hadn't recognized that we missed 8 free throws in a row. That may be a program record!

2. Martin. As Clark predicted and bragged about in the post-game interview, Martin was the x-factor.

3. Buzzer beaters. The 3 buzzer beating shots were just daggers.

Change any one of these things or a combination and it is a different game, despite everything else that we are concerned about.
