Good luck on Monday!

If our men could shoot free throws with the women's size ball, their average would definitely go up.

Make them have hands the size of women and see how that works

 

[Cyched]

Outstanding basketball down the stretch.

 

[acoustimac]

The aggression with which Brown went after rebounds in the last three minutes was amazing!

 

[GoodyISU1]

The ball is also smaller.

Doesn't it even out though if men's hands are generally bigger?

Couldn't watch but nice win for ISU! I just checked a bracketology thing and they're projected to be in their tourney which is great.

A young upstart team can be a mess for higher seeds.

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

The women play with smaller balls...

Play with what you’ve got. No place for wishful thinking on a basketball court.

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

Great win.
Go Cyclones

 

[dafarmer]

Don’t understand how any non alumni cheer for Baylor. Maybe the Manson cult or that USA gymnastics trainer should start up a program in the same spirit.

Most were cheering against ISU, they would rather play Baylor.

But the rim is the same size so there is more buffer for the women's ball shot to be a little off and still go in.

Ever hear of nothing but net? Watch Emily Ryan and you’d realize hoop size is irrelevant.

Danae Fritz DNP.

Hope she is enjoying her good faith based education

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

This KSt team will fold when we come back on them.

Wrong thread?

 

[riceville98]

Why?

OU will push tempo and be uber physical and they made us look bad in the game at hilton. I would love to eat some crow on Monday

Not so much the size of the hands in relation to the ball, but the diameter of the ball in relation to the rim.

 

[NWICY]

We kinda live and die with the 3 though so..........

Not as bad as in previous yrs IMO. With Addy and Audi we are stronger than we usually are in the paint.

 

[NWICY]

I definitely would have gone to this game under the old format if already in town for mens games. Very few people would go down 2 weeks in a row. What was their reasoning for splitting it up? Looks like the upper deck is curtained off??

Stupidity is the reason for the change, a few complained about the inequity of playing at Municipal compared to Tmobile so now they play in a large empty arena.

Meh…technique is everything. A good free throw shooter is a good shooter regardless of the ball size.
