Belmont and Illinois State both lost tonight in the first round of NIT tonight.

And Belmont got blown out despite 35 from Wells (who it appears will return next season)

FWIW, Drake and Creighton both beat Nebraska earlier this season. We beat them 64-62 in 2016, also in the WNIT.

Overall, we have faced Nebraska seven times. The 2016 win is our only win of the seven. However, I know we can win this one.

Ugly loss to Nebraska to end a good season

Ugly loss to Nebraska to end a good season

I was there. Nebraska very very physical and big. Couldn’t get shots to fall. Players fought hard…

No fun to be on the short end of the final score, but it was a very pleasing season with lots to look forward to for 23-24 season. Great group of competitors for sure and, as we have come to know, good students also. Thanks.

Watching Iowa fans who watched their second game all season whine about refs and the other teams "class" will never not be funny

Sorest bunch of people I've ever seen, it makes it hard to ever pull for them.

I mean, look, I'm a certified Iowa hater, made that conscious decision when I was like five, haven't looked back. That being said, the refs screwed the Hawkeyes today. The "classless" takes are dumb for sure, but the refs were on one today. Clark getting T'd up and then the ref lying about the reason she got T'd up, all while the other coach was on the court for all 40 minutes and even bumped into/grabbed a ref and didn't even get a warning was wild.

I missed what refs said about the tech - what'd they say?

The tech was BS, but Iowa shot the same amount of free throws and had the same amount of fouls while shooting twice as many 3s.

They gave up 102 points and lost by 17, the officiating was not the issue, and the pearl clutching is even funnier.

Outside of a very talented and even more extraordinarily always whiny clark..iowa isn't built for that moment. It was clear without Clark on the floor they struggled to show any life of real offense. They ran thru the motion offense but no one knew who to take charge after a 2nd or third pass when that pass woulda been intended for Clark. It was the quietest high scoring output by her and well done by LSU. I had wondered why S. Carolina hadn't played that way that LSU defended her after having even more time to scout and prep for her.

On the flip side. I HATE Kim Mulkey with a passion (coaching wise). And agree she was allowed free reign of the arena as her coaching box today. There shoulda been a prop bet of how short of time she actually was in the coaching box today. Over/under had to be 8 minutes for sure.

Lastly tho. When a team is hot..they hot. And the bench came to play. Carson from State was amazing and i basically turned the game off after the redic. dagger bank 3 at the half. It was over really then. I only kept the game on to see if iowa could get multiple consecutive stops.

LSU also had too much footspeed for Iowa, who couldn’t guard most of the LSU players without fouling. The refs were terrible, and it was one of the worst officiated big games I’ve ever seen. That said, Iowa also accumulated a bunch of legit fouls due to the difference in quickness, and it’s probably also why Iowa had to leave several LSU players open for good looks on the perimeter.

Changing gears, are we in on any of the women’s transfers leaving Iowa State? That team seems to be mini-imploding.

Yeah, big discussion on CycloneFanatic about it. Donarski is a really nice all around big guard, but I'm going to guess she'll have no trouble finding a high major who wants her. I saw some speculation that Fritz wants to be closer to home - she's from Tennessee, and former Missouri State coach Kellie Harper is now at UT. The others I'm not sure about. Kane seemed to be a guaranteed starter now that Soares 6th year was denied.

I haven’t seen this posted yet nor do I see a specific WBB recruiting or 2023-24 thread yet so I’ll put it here. Iowa transfer to UNI.

I think she could be a really nice player for us, dealt with some injuries that really slowed her at Iowa
