Iowa State women's basketball senior Bridget Carleton caps her historic season with two of the highest distinctions Women's College Basketball has to offer. The Chatham, Ontario native was named the 2019 Cheryl Miller Award winner, which honors the best small forward in NCAA Division I. Upon earning the award, Carleton is also named to the Naismith Starting 5.

Carleton also was named to the 10-member WBCA Coaches All-America Team. She becomes the first Iowa State women's basketball player to earn either distinction. She is also just the second student-athlete to earn the Cheryl Miller Award, joining UConn's Gabby Williams, who was the inaugural recipient.

Anyone else hearing the rumor that Bono is going to be fired from other boards? Sounds like it is from recruiting violations, which wouldn't shock me. Also wonder if this could lead Wick to transfer (although he originally went to Wisconsin for Barry, so he might be there for the school and not coach). But, if he does decide to transfer, I know a school that could really use a 165 lber....

CBA's high school teammate Ainhoa Olarra (South Carolina) made a putt on Thursday to advance out of a Sudden Death Playoff and then they mentioned that Olarra rubbed a bracelet on her wrist before sinking a 30' putt to win the Playoff...had a good interview with Olarra afterwards mentioning Cecilia...very cool!

The umpire was making horrendous ball/strike calls, and some bookie twitter feeds were claiming last nights game was a lock for the Rangers (they won 4-0). Here is the reddit thread. Really interesting stuff...

Very touching story about Celia's influence on this young lady.
Cyclonita Nation will be cheering on Ainhoa!

Always a #cyclonita in our hearts

Old Man Gregg seems a bit off his rocker this week. After getting ejected against the Kings on Sunday, he is headed to the locker room early again. Popovich was only in the game for 63 seconds. Does anyone know if this is a new record for fastest NBA ejection?

I believe that I was the first to post in all of them.
Catch up, people!

That will be a really tough matchup in the non conference. I think there's a chance we play them in a November tournament too, isn't there?

Here's all the matchups:

Welp, this thing is looking less attractive day by day. Hopefully we can bring in two new studs and get them integrated with the team on the Italy trip so that we don't lay an egg at this tourney.

Question for anyone in the know - Tickets are sold for all 12 games. Three days, four games per day.

Are there sessions, or does each game follow the previous with 30 minute break? Are there opportunities to sell your ticket/session to other fans for games that ISU is not playing in? Or is there one ticket for each day, and you lose out if you leave the arena area for games you don't care about.

TIA

Man he’s been in some trouble. Use to love him in a Cyclone Jersey.

Thoughts? Advice?

Lots to go thru if you're a subscriber. I noticed Marial is listed in the most underrated column.

Welcome back to On That Note, a music-listening and discussion series hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, cyclones500.

This time, in observation of National Library Month, we’ll explore songs with literary themes or based on literature; lyrical references to books and authors; and musical retellings of stories. Also, you may include group names inspired by literature. In those cases, you’re allowed to post something by tan artist already cited, as long as it's a different track.

If a literary reference isn’t obvious, elaborate when you post the sound clip.

• General OTN note: We’ve received suggestions from frequent OTN followers for music topics. We haven’t forgotten about you, look for a few in the coming weeks.

I’ll post a few of my choices in a bit. Meanwhile, let ‘er rip.

• Last week’s OTN: The Kids in the Hall

"Illinois Athletics expands beer sales to public seating areas of Memorial Stadium and State Farm Center for home @IlliniFootball, @IlliniMBB and @IlliniWBB games this fall."

"Illinois joins Maryland, Minnesota, Purdue, Rutgers and Ohio State as schools permitting in-stadium alcohol consumption. In 2017, Ohio State made a reported $1.23 million in profit from beer sales."

Looking for a recommendation for a site to share youth team photos among the parents. I would be the primary contributor of the photos. I created a Shutterfly account but it seems to want to much information about the kids. I don't need it to be a communication portal/calendar, ect. I just need to share photos. We have used the teamsnap photo feature in the past but they take forever to load and view. Any suggestions out there?

Pretty good. Focuses on Ben Askrin. I am not a wrestling fan but I do find it interesting that so many wrestlers now see MMA as the next logical step to use that skill. I also generally hate when wrestlers start out in MMA. It's hard to watch them just take someone down and hold them down for the win. Luckily they have to eventually improve in other areas and they are athletically good enough to do so. So the older they get the more watchable the fight is.

On his extension, last season, the future, next year's roster, Talen/Lindell and more. Enjoy.

A fantastic listen is the Pollard interview from Alex Halstead on CycloneAlert 247sports. Half way through is the message to fans. https://247sports.com/college/iowa-...s-facilities-Cyclone-Scoop-podcast-130810557/

A real priority this summer for Pollard is communicating this message:

"Starting to see it..." Cyclone fans a majority are awesome. We take pride in being different and are more loyal.

.."some of our fans are starting to behave in ways that our fan base likes to make fun of other fans for behaving that way"

Saw it with Matt Campbell playcalling/coordinator, saw it with men's basketball this winter, saw it last season with women's basketball.

"When you ultimately achieve the success you desire, remember who you were because that's who you still are"

Iowa State fans ran off Earl Bruce. Three 8-3 seasons in a row and ran him off. If we run off Matt Campbell or Steve Prohm because we changed, we will regret it forever.

"This is a great time to make hay" Across the board athletically, we've never been higher in the all-sports rankings. Only have finished in the top half 1 time (5th out of 10) and are currently 2nd going into spring.

JP's biggest concern right now is protecting the brand and he's "starting to see some erosion". Fans make us different at Iowa State and if we lose that, we lose the advantage over other places.

It's interesting he mentions it's not just social media. He's had donors express frustrations in person. He understands wanting to win and being disappointed during a loss. But don't be irrational.

I myself am guilty of this too, so I'll need to work on this as well. Go Cyclones!

Looking for suggestions to be funny, and could help in communicating Hoibergs change over to Nebraska. Mine would be have a thick German accent added for a bit of dark flair. Post your suggestions.

Any chance this ends up a Thursday night game?
