80-51 ... not bad for the last non conference game. Bring on the Bears and lets see watch shakes out.

Fennelly basically said that he wanted to play Prins more but it wouldn't have been fair to NDSU to keep her in once ISU had a big lead since she was playing so well.

I think Prins needed a motivational factor and facing Griner soon may be just the incentive. That and Coach F reminding her, "Anna you are going to be eaten alive."

The call was not incorrect. BF explained it on the post-game show. If you swing your elbows and hit someone above the neck, it is an automatic intentional foul. He did not argue the call, because he knew it was the correct call. While the fans may not have agreed with the call, it was correct. We may not like the rule, but it is a rule to stop players who come down grab a rebound and start swinging their elbows to clear space just to do it. The fans at the game were more frustrated with the fact the official who made the call was too chicken to make the call without first asking another official for help, and then having to go to the monitor to justify his decision. Hallie was not bothered by the call, she just went on and played, actually had a good laugh with Bill while NDSU shot the free throws.

She was pretty wild with her elbows last year. I haven't seen her play yet this year so maybe, based on your observation, she has toned it down because of the new rule emphasis.

Wonder if she will get the fine china treatment when we play her, you know, any touch is a foul on us. Used to drive me crazy when they allowed Paris at OU to literally just bowl people over and yet she only fouled out once in her career.
