Who’s ready for some Cyclones Women’s Basketball!?!?!? Iowa State started the season with their home opener against the Omaha Mavericks as they look to build on their preseason #12 ranking.
It was not an ideal start for the Cyclones as they started with a 3 and a half minute scoreless drought before Nyamer Diew (a transfer from Butler) got the Cyclones on the board with the first bucket of the season. Even with the final first bucket, it was a very slow starting 10 minutes for the Cyclones as they shot a measly 4 for 18 in the opening frame including 1 for 12 from beyond the arc (Lexi Donarski with the only made triple) and they found themselves down 1, 12 to 11, after the quarter.
