Just got my Women's Big 12 tickets tonight. Anyone else going. Looks like Sec 107 row 16 for me. Staying at the Downtown Marriott.

Im trying to get an idea how healthy the team actually is for the final stretch of the season. Hare is out- old news. I don't think Emily has been 100% all season, we did see her run to the locker room in the second half but came back into the game. AJ did not play tonight and was in a boot. Audi has had her knee wrapped pretty heavily the last few games. Addy seemed to twist an ankle and be in a lot of pain, she went to the locker room but came back into the game. We also saw Wilson start the game and then not play at all in the second half, I don't know why. Is this going to be an issue for us come March?

Meh we are what we are this yr, if we get in the tourney I'll be shocked if we get out of the opening weekend.

Looks like Creme has us back as the first of the last four in. That at least puts us in position to have a winnable game.

Ya know…the funny thing is…if the team is firing on all cylinders (which sadly they have been very inconsistent about this year) there are a ton of teams that will be in the tourney they can beat. The Big 12 tourney will be interesting if the "good" Sisters show up.

It just seems they have a tough time putting together a string of good games, but they look better now than early in the season.
This season just didn't go the way most thought IMO.
Losing Hare didn't help the situation. Oh well play the games and hope for the best.

I think there are a lot of factors that affect the season as a whole not going as hoped:

• Major turnover in the supporting player through the portal
• Ryan being gone all summer addressing her health issues so not able to gel with the new group
• Ryan taking time to work back into a full time player because of health issues
• Early season Hare having limited practice time which eventually led to her being shut down and having surgery
• Random injures (knee, ankles, feet) that have limited a number of players practice / game time.
• Inconsistent Shooting - this seems to be a major factor in the games we lose.
• Newcomers not producing as hoped early on - seems to be getting better of late as a more defined rotation established.

Feels like the last 10 games have started to see more of the team we hoped to see - the next week will be interesting to see if they can maintain and continue to grow.

Interesting. Yours are behind on Bench, mine the other. Either there is no real Team Sectons or Iowa State fans still bought alot of tickets.

Similar to this, anyone know if there are team sections or just to go where available? Looking into getting tickets today

Mine are reserved thru Iowa State all sessions the same Sec 107 row 16. Not sure on how they divided the tickets between teams.

Decided to just get general tickets this year. You get to sit pretty much where you want.

Funky Big XXII courts in KC. We could wear our weird green/gray uniforms and just melt into the background and no one could see our players! Stealth mode engaged!

Big 12 Tourney Bracket:

 

[ZorkClone]

Looks like Creme has moved us off the play in line to the 10 seed.

Women's Bracketology: First look at 2026 has familiar teams on top line

South Carolina, UConn, UCLA and Texas are the No. 1 seeds in our first projection of the 2026 bracket.

Looking at the 7 seed lines: Utah, Louisville, Oklahoma State, and Michigan are all beatable.

We have also lost to 2 of those 4 as well but luckily they don't matchup conference teams in first round.

Wilson's minutes have really been cut. I wonder if that is just because of Emily getting heathier, or is it a talent thing, or is she in the dog house for some other reason?

 

[ZorkClone]

Congratulations to Audi!

Wilson's minutes have really been cut. I wonder if that is just because of Emily getting heathier, or is it a talent thing, or is she in the dog house for some other reason?

She has a quickness and tenacity that I think we need more of and she is always the first one out high fiving teammates on time outs. However, she never seemed ready to play in the Big 12 this year. She's very foul prone and gets frantic with about any level of pressure.

I would say it is Emily getting healthier. The comment was made on the TV broadcast that Emily is up to 30-32 minutes a game. Yesterday, KSU was going to press, and you needed experienced ball handlers on the floor. Between Emily, AJ, and Addy, you were set yesterday, plus using Audi and Kelsey. We did a really good job of beating their press. Reagan gets sped up, and KSU would have taken full advantage of that yesterday.
