Thump

I can't say I'm surprised. The Cyclone women were due a game like that.

KSU is now in the driver's seat, with a split with ISU and a road win at Tech under their belts.

Keeler gets it right for once: ISU is a "pretty" team that runs into trouble against the bump-and-grinders of the basketball world.

The job for ISU is to survive this tough stretch. If they can get a split between games at OU, Tech and Baylor and a home tilt against Texas, they have a shot if KSU falters. But with 10 games left, the Cyclones don't have much margin for error.
