All depends on the officiating.

ISU women play a physical team that goes Huggins and dares you to call everything?

Probably going to lose.

It's true, we have finesse guards, because the women's game is supposed to be prettier, smoother, and with a more entertaining flow.

The horrible trend of brutish basketball has now taken over women's basketball as well. To the detriment of the sport.

There is a trend of more girls choosing volleyball because the sport is still the sport.

Sad state of affairs

Good god all you do is piss and moan about ISU sports.

I’m expecting it. Hope not though.

I never expected the men to be here tonight. Definitely hoping like crazy they win, but a loss by them won’t sting near as bad as a loss by our #5 WBB team that was up 17.

And this is THE year for the women…. they will lose a ton of talent next year.

Not sure if we are Huggins level. May hand check a little more than I like, but not Huggins level.

The man's game should be called tighter and the women's game should be less dependent on how much you can hack.
We put teams in the double bonus before the 10 minute mark of the half, we are huggins level.

To me, the biggest losers in this game are some of the shockingly juvenile posters who have a melt-down over one game. Did you really think this team, no matter where we are ranked, was going to go undefeated this year; it happens. And whatever needs to be fixed will be worked on. But bailing on the girls and calling them names and calling them quitters is beyond unbelievable. This is as good a team as we are likely to see in Ames for many years. So, forget the silliness and SUPPORT the girls. They have done absolutely nothing to justify losing our support. It's only one game and its early in the season. Second at the Phil Knight is pretty darn good. And losing to an team ranked 8th in the nation is hardly a caused for a complete meltdown.
They were ranked 8th. We were ranked 5th. Yet they were favored by 4. Vegas knows.

ISU women's weakness is physical play.

Are we not allowed to notice?

I wanted the women to win.

I think Joens is an incredible person and player.

I used to eat donuts with Bill when he first got to ISU and the girls were working out early in the morning at the rec center.

He's the negative all knowing in every topic
Everyone at ISU is amazing and perfect and infallible and incredible.

Or, sometimes there are issues.

Which fans can address and hope the coaches see and adjustments are made.

I swear we got the damn trophy generation here that can't handle the rational discussion of glaring problems.

"Used to" - Bill probably changed practice times to get away from you. Now he probably uses you as a punchline at parties.

Bill did a Fran mccaffery and fouled out his own player. I think he made a big mistake sitting lexi for basically 2 full quarters.

The meltdown is because we were up 17 and had the talent win the game.

I'd feel guilty getting almost $5 million a year from good and decent people if I refused to give them my best effort, and continued to make rookie mistakes in year 7.

I have a conscience.
Wrong forum.
