This is already an epic flop of a season for Mulkey and LSU with the superteam of all-stars they assembled.
WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff
- Thread starter BoxsterCy
- Start date
Missed this till I saw it tonight in another forum. Texas freshmen star Madison Booker injured her hamstring in practice Friday. Texas had to have Shaylee Gonzales play point. Apparently they played zone versus Cinci on Saturday.
Not sure how long Booker is out. I am more familiar with MLB hamstring injuries, those always seem to be at least a couple of weeks and more like 3 weeks. Texas is at Baylor Thursday and will certainly be without Booker. Texas than plays KSU on Saturday. Not a great week to be without a star starter.

Injuries keep hitting teams:
My local Gophers season just augered in and any shot they had at March went poof. Mara Braun injured her foot coming down and landing on the opponents foot while Braun was shooting a three. Just had foot surgery and assuming she is gone till next year. She'd been struggling some but was still averaging 17.8 pts.
Lauren Betts for UCLA is out with an "undisclosed illness". Their coach Cori Close was very emotion about it and eluded to the team dealing with "things bigger than basketball". Yikes. No news on this other than that.

I didn't say anything disrespectful, I just corrected an error. You're right, I don't comment on here often and I guess if you look back on my history of commenting here you wouldn't find anything disrespectful.
The comment I was responding to was "OSU and Iowa State have shown the recipe to beat Iowa. I won’t be surprised to see them go down by the Sweet Sixteen." Which would imply that Iowa State beat Iowa. Kansas State would have been a better example, since they actually beat Iowa. Keeping a game close and eventually losing doesn't give a good game plan on how to beat someone. It give a good game plan on how to keep it close.
I do hop on here occasionally, as I enjoy the comments and I've really enjoy watching the women's team play. It's amazing to watch a young team come into form. They are fearless.
Didn't realize I had to have a specific comment tally to comment.
You may not show up on Hawkeye boards but there are plenty that do. Some respectful and some that aren't. I also go on to Boneyard and other team sites.
This is the comment I was replying to: "OSU and Iowa State have shown the recipe to beat Iowa. I won’t be surprised to see them go down by the Sweet Sixteen." It certainly implies that Iowa State beat them. They didn't of course. They did have a good game plan to keep it close. A better example would have been Kansas State, who actually beat Iowa.
I am enjoying Iowa State Women's Basketball team round into form, they are fearless. Crooks is a force down low and Brown is amazing utility player that does alot extremely well!. I'm also happy to see Ryan on the floor again.
You weren't really correcting an error as the statement doesn't imply ISU beat EIU, plus your second paragraph is disrespectful / condescending considering where you are and who you’re addressing. But you do you…
I'd add in that it was a rivalry game with a big crowd at Hilton in December so it is not exactly a March scenario "recipe" where Iowa will be playing the opening two games in front of their own 15,000 fans.
If there is a recipe it would seem to be "have a really good defensive team" and try to get Iowa into a low scoring half court game. And than hope it's one of those games were Martin, Marshall and others sort of disappear and Clark feels she needs to shoot a thousand times. If I was looking for a game plan I'd look at the two games with KSU this year but only thee elite teams in March have posts as good as Ayoka Lee. But who knows, two years ago Creighton pee'd in both our cereal bowls when it seemed to be set up for one of our teams to be Elite Eight bound.
No reason Hawks can't post in this general WBB threads, it's supposed to be non-Cyclone or general stuff only tangentially related to Cyclone stuff. It's hard to find a board that's open for general WBB talk, Boneyard is a bit but it's still pretty east coast centric. Wish we had @undersized_post post more, he/she is really knowledgeable overall fan. Same for Baylor fan @geewago. We do have a subset of fans here that will attack ANY post by a rival but that's just their opinion. I did not start this general thread as a place to brawl, CF has a forum set aside for that.
Seriously? KSU showed how to beat them. We didn’t even come close.
What? We had the lead with 4:30 to play with a bunch of freshmen…I would say we were close. We had no business being within 20 points of Iowa that early in the year when you compared the two teams.
Prove it game for both KSU and OU tonight. I think LSU without Lee will probably lose at Norman.
In other action I see the Big Ten farmed out the games for #3 Iowa and #10 Indiana out to Peacock again, cheating their BTN and BTN+ subscribers out of the games unless they sign up for yet another streaming service. Expect Big 12 will start doing the same after MLB starting paving the path for this the last couple of seasons.

The amount of games on Peacock is annoying. I have to watch those games on my computer because Peacock's app sucks for smart TV's. I also don't understand why you would want to push your most watched team to a streaming service.
How has it sucked for you? I've watched Peacock on a few different TVs and haven't had any issues.
That's what happens when you have so many different media partners to placate.
Until Fox comes up with a streaming service, the Big 12 will be limited to ESPN+.
$$$. And the streaming services want to buy the ranked teams so Iowa fans get screwed. I subscribe to Yankee stream from MLB. Pretty much used to got every game except the series versus the Twins (blackout is big issue in the midwest but not so much for me). Now Yankee games get cherry picked and sold separately by MLB to Apple TV+, Amazon Prime and Peacock. You already had games bought by Fox, CBS, ESPN etc but most everyone already has access to those without buying another three subscriptions.
To drive subscriptions.
Same reason that one of the two annual ISU-Kansas MBB games were on ESPN+ in 2020, 2021 (scheduled/ppd), 2022, and 2023.
It's glitchy/choppy and I've talked to several others who've had the same issue. I have no problems on my laptop. My TV isn't the issue either.
We access it through Hulu on a pretty old smart TV and never have issues. Watch a lot of soccer
