Iowa State has attempted 798 three point shots this year, hitting 34%, with four players who have each attempted more than 100. I would not be surprised to discover that they are shooting much better than 34% at home, which is where we will play them.
Their coach Bill Fennelly recruits and coaches for three point shooting--that has always been his hallmark.Â
One happy memory--we played them in an Elite Eight game in 2009 and Jayne set her record by making 46 points. Let's hope Chiney scores 48!
One unhappy thought--Iowa State frequently sells out its 10,000 seat arena. When it played (and lost) to Baylor two weeks ago they had 10,500 in attendance. This is not the kind of "home court advantage" that is anything like a typical Pac12 away game. This will feel more like going to Connecticut or Tennessee.Â
