Bill Fennelly sat with a big grin on his face waiting patiently for the press conference to start after the No. 7 ISU Cyclones defeated the Oklahoma State Cowgirls.The ISU women’s basketball head coach wasn’t smiling because he was extremely happy, but he wasn’t extremely mad either.”It seemed like we got into the game one player at a time,” Fennelly said. “It just seemed like we couldn’t get everybody going at the same time in the right direction.”The Cyclones may have not been in the right direction at the same time, but at least they had the right idea as they cruised to a 83-54 victory Wednesday night. Iowa State improved its Big 12 Conference leading record to 9-1 (19-2 overall).ISU point guard Lindsey Wilson paced the Cyclones with 22 points on 8-13 shooting and six assists. She turned the ball over only twice.”Obviously Lindsey played really well and got us in some offense,” Fennelly said. A prime example of Wilson’s determination took place when ISU center Angie Welle dove on the floor for a loose ball with just under nine minutes left in the game. Welle flipped a pass to Wilson as she sped her way down the lane. Leaping with the ball in her left hand, Wilson was met by an OSU defender under the basket. She proceeded to switch hands, duck under the hoop and sink the lay-up putting the Cyclones up 60-36.The Cowgirls struggled all night to guard Wilson, whose cross-over dribbles and mix of speed and power allowed her to penetrate into the lane nearly anytime she wanted to.Wilson has put up 20 or more points in three of the last four Cyclone games. She is averaging 17.7 in conference play.But perhaps the most impressive stat for the Cyclones was their 22 assists. Only six of ISU’s field goals were unassisted as they shot 28-67 from the floor.”They do a really good job of moving the ball and getting it to their shooters, which is anyone,” OSU forward Kara Faulk said. On the flip-side the 41.8 percent shooting is the second lowest showing the Cyclones have had all season. Against Missouri, Iowa State shot 41.4 percent.”I really felt like we were just missing something,” Fennelly said, “and it’s hard to put a finger on it.”The Cyclones played scrappy defense which forced the Cowgirls to turn the ball over 19 times. It was one of the reasons Iowa State never trailed in the game.”I thought their defense bothered us quite a bit,” OSU head coach Dick Halterman said. One thing the Cyclones didn’t do well was rebound, especially in the first half. Iowa State was out-rebounded 23 to 17 in the first 20 minutes and the Cowgirls benefited from 12 offensive boards.The Cyclones responded by grabbing 26 boards in the second half while holding the Cowgirls to 17 (six offensive) and winning the battle of boards 43-40. Iowa State was led by Welle who grabbed 11 total rebounds in the game. Welle added 12 points, five assists and a career-high six blocked shots to her line.”They had twelve offensive rebounds at halftime,” Fennelly said, “and that’s way too many … In the second half there was only six, so obviously our kids made more commitment to get the ball.””When we defensive rebound we can start our fast breaks better,” Wilson said, “and that’s what we did in the second half.”ISU junior Tracy Gahan and senior Megan Taylor helped control the boards for the Cyclones as they grabbed seven and six respectively. Gahan added 13 points (4-8 shooting) while Taylor cashed in 14 (5-15).Only one OSU player tallied double figures. Freshman Trisha Skibbe knocked in 11 points on 5-13 shooting. The Cyclones now prepare for their second home game of the week with Kansas State Saturday. Iowa State beat the Wildcats in Manhattan on Jan. 3, 84-58.Meanwhile Oklahoma State, who dropped to 12-9 (4-6 in the Big 12), traveled home to face in-state rival Oklahoma.
