Iowa’s return is late against TCU, Cyclones miss another win to build a resumption – Sioux City Journal

No. 9 TCU beat Iowa State 82-69 Sunday afternoon. After lagging 13 in the first six minutes, ISU guard Kelsey Jones cut the TCU’s lead to 37-36 at the half with a 3-point shot. Cyclones never lead, but they approached four points three minutes in the fourth quarter.

The loss on Sunday ends the disappointing week for Iowa State (15-9, 6-5 large 12). On Thursday, ISU lost in oversee against No. 11 Kansas after guarding the point Emily Ryan missed a deep 3-pointer who would win the game.

“Just knowing that if we clean the little things for five to eight minutes of the game, I think we have both games,” Brown said. “It’s good to know this, but it’s also really disappointing because it’s like, Dang, we were so close to doing it on our way.”

Brown and Center Audi Crooks is combined to score 60 out of 69 ISU points on Sunday. The rest of the ISU’s scoring can be reported on the fingers: Ariana Jackson’s security point scored three points, Ryan scored two, Jones scored three, and the Alice Williams Center added one.

The lack of constant offensive production of all who are not called Crooks and Brown is a constant problem for cyclones this season.

Just look at what you did for TCU. Even with the leading goalkeeper Sedona Prince, he crashed into unpleasant problems through the bigger part of the game and kept to zero points in two shots, the collapse of horned frogs kept ISU just out of reach.

TCU star guard Haley van Litt scored 28 points. But it was 19 points from junior guard Taylor Bigby and 10 points from Donovin Hunter’s security guard by the bench, which made the difference.

“In February, the scouts reports, everyone at this point in the game knows everything you run, they know the trends of everyone, so you need your players roles to activate and hit photos,” said TCU coach Mark Campbell.

With the loss, the next tournament of the NCAA tournament resumed the possibility of construction, they have slipped away. ISU exhausts its capabilities for its first victory with a quadrant one. Cyclones are already 0-7 in these games, the strongest criteria for NCAA tournaments.

The ISU coach Bill Funelli said he wasn’t worried about which quadrant an opponent was. It is more in its essence to worry about the next 40 minutes of basketball that his team should play.

“I think when we entered these games, we knew we were playing two really good teams,” Funelli said. “This turned out to be true. It also turned out to be true that we were right there with the two, so we hope that our players understand it well, this is not a complete discrepancy … But these are on top and we are not.”

Cyclones have entered the game as one of the last four teams in the Bracetology Projection field of ESPN. This week, losses from No. 11 Kansas State and No. 9 TCU make this an even more disadvantaged position.

“It was just not our week to be honest,” Crowks said. “But we can’t have much more of these sliding. We can’t have much more losses.”
