Fans:
For the ISU women is this Saturday. Tip off time is at 11AM. You read that right... because of the home football and volleyball games later the same day.
I sincerely hope the fans will come out for the first few games. After that the team plays nine straight games on the road and won't be back at home until January 9th, which is the day before the Bengals played their first ever women's basketball game back on January 10, 1975. (This is the Ruby Anniversary season - 40 years for the Bengals)
This is such a new team, so many new faces, some returning players being asked to play more minutes than they've played before, that a good crowd can help from a confidence standpoint.
Please come on out if you can. If not the game will be on KISU starting at 10:40AM with the pregame show.
The University of Mary is the opponent. They are from North Dakota. Play in the Northern Sun Conference. Went 19-11 last season. Lost two career 1,000 point scorers from their team. Like to either push the ball all the way to the rim or shoot the 3-pointer.
It will be a good test for ISU.
Hope to see you there.
