Since the Cyclone Women couldn't dump the Sooners, the chose to spend 2OTs beating a ranked CU squad in Boulder instead.

Allison Lacey won the game with 11 points in the second OT. Damn. So much for the altitude taking out the legs of the visiting team.

ISU shot 14-27 from 3, which had to be fun to watch.

Next up: a roadie to Austin to play the ranked Longhorns, who also lost at home today in OT. Funny.

The Buffs are this season's surprise so far, and highlight how quickly a WBB program can turn. The Buffs have been awful of late, with only 5 B12 wins during the '04-05 and '05-06 seasons combined. They improved to 6 wins last year. Bring in a new coach and a few new faces and things turn around; look at KSU's run a few years back.

WHich makes BF's consitency even more remarkable. While his teams haven't had the peaks of '00 and '01, they've had only one losing record in the last 12.

One or two great players, and a title is plausible. We the fans just never know.
