I was offered tickets this afternoon and declined - I've been in Chicago for a couple days, I'm tired and my "gut" tells me ISU isn't going to prevail this evening.

But my head says, this is basically the same team which took Stanford to the wire in March - exchange Belanger for Hare (and now TBD - next player up). Why are they in this funk and when can we expect them to "break out"? Tonight is as good a night as any to end our malaise and start playing the quality basketball we know they're capable of! Let go State!!!

I’m thinking big games from the Iowa natives - Joens and Jackson especially. And from our senior leader, who likely wants a win from the Hawks as much as anyone here. Hope to be right! Sad to hear about Kenzie though, she’s a great player and hope she recovers well.

Hate to see Hare is out for the season. Best transfer to this point. Lots of opportunity for Joens, Tanke, and Hansford. Need someone to take a big jump forward.

Just saw this. This HURTS big time. But the plus side is we have quality players unlike in years past. Who steps up? Is this Joens' turn to really take over a starting spot? We’ve seen Tanke and frankly I don’t think she’s ready yet. Harris is an option, but she has been hit and miss all season. BIG opportunity here for one of those players.
Harris lived in my subdivision 15 years ago. Then on to be a star at Edwardsville IL. All state Illinois. Shot baskets until dark and then some. Older brother Tre got a scholarship to K State and fuc*ed that up. Hope she blossoms.

Hey have you heard of the Caitlin Clark person they're talking about?
