Nikki Moody, guard on the ISU women’s basketball team, is still under suspension for behavioral problems in practice. Moody’s suspension from all team activities was announced Oct. 31 by head coach Bill Fennelly in a press release.

Moody, a senior, was expected to start for the Cyclones this season after starting 30-of-31 games last year. She averaged 12.5 points and 5.3 assists per game in the 2013-14 season, both the best by any returning Cyclone.

Following Iowa State’s exhibition win against William Penn on Nov. 4, Fennelly said he was planning on trying to meet with Moody at some point this week, perhaps Oct. 6.

“She won’t practice tomorrow [Oct. 5],” Fennelly said. “We’re off Thursday, so we’ll try setting something up maybe on Thursday…It’s no big secret why [Moody was suspended], and we’re going to make sure we handle it the right way.”

As of Thursday night, no word has been released from the athletic department about the status of Moody or even if the meeting occurred. Fennelly said until he can talk face-to-face with Moody, he is uncertain about her standing with the program and the direction he plans to take the team.

“I really don’t know how long she’ll be out. I really don’t,” Fennelly said. “Until I have the meeting with her and the staff, it’s hard to judge where we’re going to go, what direction we’re going to go.”
