**** WBB: ISU vs #4 Baylor Saturday 12 pm ESPN+ GAME THREAD ****
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
Actually they did. They also showed her hugging Diew later
It was on the camera but no comment was made about it. She also gave Emily and Nyamer big hugs.
Finally watched the ladies play and
im very happy for them…but why do you say that? I disagree
I got to see the 2nd half. What a comeback win for the sisters.
Having Emily Ryan play (and start) most of the 3rd quarter was huge as she really set the tone for the period (and scored 8). I wonder about her conditioning as she had a rough patch in the 4th but was clearly one of the best players on the court.
If you didn't see it, ISU's first lead in the 2nd half was with 3:17 left in the 4th; Baylor took the lead with 31 seconds left and ISU took the lead back for good with an Audi Crooks seal and bucket with 24 ticks left.
I'm impressed with the freshmen but the whole team just has a lot of composure even when they fall behind to good seems (see Virginia, West and Bears, Baylor for reference).
Brown is going to have a B. Carleton / A. Joens type of career, assuming we get her for 4 years. She has about 7 different ways to score.
And Crooks' ability to position herself and use angles to score (her go-ahead basket today was against a 6'7" defender) is remarkable.
5-0 in the conference with a bunch of freshmen and transfers - what a great story. Good win, Cylcones!
(EDIT: This is only based on the one half that I saw but other Baylor squads that have been Top 10 seemed a lot better than this one, just in terms of speed and athleticism.)

Did you see who was covering Fritz like a heavy blanket on their last possession of the game? Kelsey was not going to let Fritz even get the ball at the end.
I am a HUGE Lexi D fan & really miss her defense prowess (although our current team is doing well without LD). Here are the comparisons of their seasons so far & the numbers show that Hannah was a HUGE pick up for us - something I wasn't completely would be true to begin the season. The biggest difference that SHOCKED me was the assist to turnover ratio - wow!!
I used to think that Hannah was just a cute, small, three-point shooter. After today, I think she is a cold-blooded SOB assassin!
My favorite plays were when she drove the lane, even the one where she pushed off as she was taking #11 to the hoop in order to take advantage of her injured left ankle. And she wanted the ball in her hands at the end. Ice cold.
I thought it was SWEET justice when Blackwell went out with her 5th foul - she was the one who delivered a cheap-shot shove to Audi at the beginning the game!
Hugged all the coaches and all of the players from last year
Jodie gave her huge hugs right after the interview.
Fritz hugged all of the coaching staff, Diew, & Dawkins, that I saw. I didn't see her interaction with Emily or MK. She did have tears as she was walking off the court.
