I try to keep this a clean blog, so I will simply say that last night’s Iowa State women’s NCAA game happened. ESPN said ISU had a 98% win probability with 39 seconds left. Probability, two dozen turnovers notwithstanding, does nothing against swallowed whistles.
ESPN2 isn't showing a replay of that last sequence, for some reason, so here you go. pic.twitter.com/MvdjmAdQnj

This team was so wonderfully Iowa State, in so many senses of that. Why yes, of course our posts shoot 3s, don’t yours?
This team stumbled a few times, but they will be stronger next season. Three starting freshmen will become three starting sophomores. Ashley Joens will be a senior. Maybe, just maybe, there will be thousands of people in the stands again cheering them on.
