Bout Darn Time - Congrats Pop

**twistedredbird** · 01-02-2012, 08:18 PM

Way overdue! An oversight that she was overlooked on the Big 12 mentions at end of season last year. Only player besides Griner in Big 12 averaging a double double. Well deserved.

Well deserved honor for Pop.

Great news in the WBB world!

Hard working and sound on the fundamentals. Great player. Congrats to Pop.

Congrats, Pop! Always nice when results get recognized. Nice job by her teammates to get her the ball under the basket. But the rebounds are all hers.

Woot Woot

Yes--- about time! I've been expecting her to get this honor a few times this season, but always seemed to go to Griner or someone else. All I can say now, HALLELUJAH! Congrats Pop, well deserved. Great news for ISU WBB right now. : )

KUDOS to Chelsea. There are a lot of really good players in our conference. It takes an exceptional performance to get the weekly award. BTW we've gotten a fair amount of recognition this year. Out of sixteen awards given, ISU players have gotten four.

with Schroll now gone and the other players in the post being soft...Pop has to have a huge year.

She is quickly building an amazing stat line on the season. Goes to show what hard work and tenacity can do!

One of my favorite all time players! Might beat out Heather as the most hustling players in Cyclone WBB.

**gizzsdad** · 01-03-2012, 01:08 PM

I've always said she plays harder than anyone since Megan Taylor - maybe harder.

Excellent comparison. Two very different types of players who just plain work their butts off.

**twistedredbird** · 01-03-2012, 02:14 PM

With some conditioning, I think Fallon Ellis will be in this vein as well. Kileah Mays as well, she is very physical. Fallon reminds me of Niz, one of my favorite ISU players.

Congrats to Poppens for also being recognized in an espnW article:
Sophomores shoot to head of the class - espnW

Five names you should know (but probably don't)
...
3. Chelsea Poppens, Iowa State. The junior forward propelled her team to the championship in their holiday tournament last week, averaging 16.5 points and 14.5 rebounds in victories over New Hampshire and Buffalo. Poppens is the nation's No. 3 rebounder and she leads the Big 12 -- no small feat in a conference that includes Brittney Griner.
