***#8 Iowa State vs. UNI (6:00 pm)***

[mred]

I've gone to ISU@ UNI WBB games at three venues: West Gym, UNI Dome, and McLeod. McLeod is clearly the nicest of the three, but the game at West Gym (1998, I think) was one of the most fun atmospheres I've seen at a game. Two high-quality teams playing in essentially a high school gym with a packed crowd pretty evenly split.

Should be a good test for this squad. My nails still haven’t grown back from when the Panthers played in Ames last season

 

[CascadeClone]

All I know is that McDermott, Green, Bofelli.... sounds like a class reunion in my hometown.

 

[acoustimac]

Ugh…missed bunnies

 

[acoustimac]

we haven’t found a way to defend inside yet

 

[Pope]

I love McDermott's game. She's small, but a handful to guard.

UNI coming out swinging - they are definitely not intimidated and seem to be dictating the flow of the game so far. A couple of the cyclones are visibly frustrated.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Not a great start but we're still leading. I think we will settle in. UNI giving us their best early.

 

[CloniesForLife]

So nice to have Soares

 

[BirdOfWar]

Is Steven Fennelly not still at UNI?

 

[acoustimac]

Is Steven Fennelly not still at UNI?

No. Private business I think

 

[acoustimac]

First quarter ends…with a drive by Soares for two…after she was hacked out top with no call. Refs doing a good job though

 

[Pope]

UNI can't miss and they're still down 5 after 1st quarter. Not a good sign for them.

 

[BirdOfWar]

No. Private business I think

Do you mean he works for a private business now outside of coaching?

 

[BoxsterCy]

Surprised at all of the empty seats. Kind of an early start I guess, but still.

 

[huntt26]

Fun game so far, lots of baskets

 

[Pope]

UNI playing with great effort, but I'm predicting they will go down by 30.

 

[1UNI2ISU]

Do you mean he works for a private business now outside of coaching?

Correct. He's working for one of the insurance giants in Des Moines

 

[CloniesForLife]

UNI was crazy hot to start. I expect us to pull away

A high school gym from the 1940's. I remember going to MBB games in the West Gym in the late 90's. Way better atmosphere than the dome for basketball.
