Now to the first place team....

This is shaping up very well.

The ISU women went into another gym that has given them troule over the years and opened up and Industrial Sized Can of Whoop-Ass on the Jayhawks, winning 71-37. Ouch.

A 20-3 run in the second half turned it into a laugher.

So maybe Bill's crew is good enough for some ridiculous talk on my part:

Can ISU get a sweep of the north?

That would be 10 wins. That's a good seed in the B12 tourney by itself. My math would put them at 20 wins and NCAA eligible right there- assuming every game they have played counts. Anything else would just improve seeding.

This is all premature for sure. The Cyclones still need to go to Manhattan. Columbia has been another minefield over the years. Nebraska is showing life again. The next four games will really tell us what we have on our hands.

But depending on how the losses get spread around between Baylor, Tech and the others in the south, this could be a banner-worthy season in Ames.
