Hopefully, it will be.

I was surprised TCU handled WV as well as they did. Martin just had an off day. If she gets hot at home they can make it hard on anybody that plays there.

 

Anyone know the status of Kysre Gondrezick? She hasn't played since Dec 8th against Pitt.

 

Unknown at this time. She is on a leave of absence to attend to "personal matters."

Strange situation. The article Babhorn linked was dated November 8th. She returned to play on Nov 15th and played five games. She hasn't played since the Pitt game on Dec 8th. Gondrezick was a key player for WVU. Now, the Mountaineers have only 9 active players, similar to last season.

 

ISU 82 Kansas 73
Turned out to be an exciting game. Looked like ISU was going to run away with it , up 20 with seven minutes left in the fourth. Kansas got within five with 1:42 to go.

 

Very strange situation...

 

ISU and Kansas are both MUCH improved over last season. Two extremely well-coached programs.

 

Wow, that's quite a beating OU took from KSU... Especially considering the beating ISU put on KSU last Wednesday.

 

It's going to be difficult to predict the games in the league, except for Baylor.

Baylor 73 Tech 56, not as big a beatdown as I thought might happen.

OSU is up nine on TCU at the half, 40-31, but TCU chopped an 18 deficit in half during the last five minutes of the second quarter.

 

OSU wins a wild one 75-71 over TCU.
Both teams go to 1-1 in conference play.

 

Updated standings after Sunday's games:

Iowa State 2 - 0
Texas 2 - 0
Baylor 1 - 0
TCU 1 - 1
Oklahoma State 1 - 1
Kansas State 1 - 1
Oklahoma 1 - 1
Kansas 0 - 1
Texas Tech 0 - 2
West Virginia 0 - 2

 

Brown and Cox didn't play much in 3rd or 4th. 4th was mostly the freshmen. You can tell she was giving starters rest and letting the younger players get their time.
