Congrats to the ladies on a road win. Goods was awesome. Now back home for 2 games, a chance to get back above .500 in the conference. Need to take advantage.

It's funny. A few games ago Ally Gietzel got in during garbage time. I'm like, wow she looks pretty good and I'm wondering why she hasn't playing more. I know she's a freshman, but still. So yesterday she gets a lot playing time and did really well. Afterward, the coach makes a comment, kicking herself for not playing Ally more this year. So look out for her. She was a 3 star recruit as well, so her playing well is probably not a fluke. We need somebody that can shoot. If we only had Mary Crompton back as well, then we'd be shooting better for sure. I think she's the one that beat Copeland in the 3 point shooting contest during hoopfest.

There is a reason why Gietzel was recruited. I believe her knee needed more healing. I am looking forward to her for the next 3.5 seasons... And with Crompton launching from three-land... ISU is going to be exciting. Now find a 6-6 juco to own the lane and look out Drake.

that's right. The coach did say something about her coming off a knee issue. It will be interesting to see how many minutes she starts getting going forward. Maybe she'll be the spark they need.

While I love the enthusiasm and I hope you are right, have you seen Drake's size? I think all their players are like Simone's height. They are so dang good.

Drake is so good it depressed me. Even if we get hot at the MVC tourney I give us no chance of beating them. It's literally a battle for runner up this year.

Might want to tell that to Mo State. They are 9-0 in conference, Drake is 8-1. Bears beat the Bulldogs in DesMoines on Friday.

I knew MSU was young and undefeated when they played us. They didn't look that impressive beating us, but yeah, good for them. Still undefeated. They'll be the team to beat next year for sure. I'm with Quinn on Drake this year. I'm thinking Drake goes down there and beats MSU in Springfield too. Wasn't that Drake's first conference loss in like 40+ games. Surprised it happened to them in Des Moines though.
