I've no idea what to expect. South Carolina got thumped in their game versus now #1 UCLA. Some online opinions are the players haven't adjusted to not having a star post like Boston and Cardoso.

After that big matchup pasting they took I would expect Staley got their attention this week. I think we maybe have a better shot at the upset here than against UConn.

I too really don’t know what to expect from this one. To me the key is going to be whether our outside shooters are able to consistently hit shots throughout the game. If multiple shooters are on and we do not have to depend on crooks and one guard I think we will be OK.

This will be a tough game for our guards. I predict we get thumped, but I don’t think it’s as bad as ESPN’s FPI saying we only have a 2% chance of winning

I wonder if Audi will get double-teamed as much. If so, I hope she gets better at "firing" passes out to teammates ready to take open 3's.

Go Cyclones! I think it’ll be a tough game to win, but I think we will be ready to fight today at the very least. If we can see some shots fall early, it’ll start some confidence going.

Slept in and now drinking coffee and twiddling my thumbs waiting for the game to start. Going to be bored this morning as I am home alone for T-Day. And nobody trying to break into the house yet to keep me entertained. Going to start a new Thanksgiving tradition by baking a quiche. LOL.

Really curious to see if we again see the team that ended last season on sort of roll in the Big 12 Conference Tournament and then again in the NCAA versus Maryland and Stanford. Basically the same team with pieces added. Haven't felt we have seen that yet, at least not to the extent we might have expected. Good opportunity with a big national audience although I guess the inperson crowd might be sparse.

After the thumping SC took from UCLA we certainly don't want a slow start. A fast start could maybe get SC doubting themselves some? They did play UCLA even in the 2nd half but that doesn't really mean much as it was never a game in doubt.
