BASKETBALL ***RELEASE: Hare to Miss Remainder of Season***

Iowa State Media Relations

AMES, Iowa – Iowa State women’s basketball guard Kenzie Hare will miss the remainder of the season, Iowa State announced Wednesday night. Hare has struggled with an ongoing hip injury and after exhausting conservative treatment options, has decided to medically redshirt this season.

“Kenzie has made an amazing impact from day one!” said head coach Bill Fennelly. “I am disappointed for her and our team, but this is the best thing for Kenzie. I know she will come back better than ever and have a huge impact on our team.”

“Due to an ongoing hip injury, we have decided it's best for me and the team that I redshirt this year,” said Hare. “I look forward to supporting my teammates the remainder of this season and for my next two seasons as a Cyclone!”

A junior from Bartlett, Illinois, Hare appeared in all 10 games for the Cyclones while making eight starts. She averaged 8.3 points, 2.6 rebounds and 1.6 assists per game as Iowa State’s third leading scorer.

No. 18 Iowa State takes on No. 21 Iowa in Iowa City for the annual Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series game. Tip-off is at 8 p.m. and the game will be televised on FS1.

Championship Game Attendance

I thought attendance at the Championship game was great, especially from Iowa State fans. I admit it's not easy to see the stands on the side of the field you were on, but they look mostly full in our side of the lowest three sections. Again that was from my vantage point. The ASU side I thought was better than I expected with some empty seats sprinkled about and the crowd tailing off toward the corners, particularly in the upper sections.

Having said that I come back to media folks that are saying attendance was bad. Where is that coming from. Did they give some data on attendance? Or did the TV catch something different than what I saw? I know the TV cameras were pointed at the ASU side, so maybe that had something to do with it. Of did the announcers comment on it? It quite frankly has me baffled.

Iowa State's reputation for traveling

My daughter is a freshmen at ISU. She just had her last class of the day and she and ALL her friends (a group of about 8-9) are heading down to Dallas via car. Making the 11 hour trip.

Anyone have an educated guess as to how many we send? Just like the Bowl game in Phoenix in 2000, this Big 12 title tilt is a generational event. We sent 25-30K to Phoenix and at the time, that was considered a sensational travel performance for ISU, and that really built the narrative of how well we travel as fans.

Any guess for tomorrow? Can we get 20K down there?

FOOTBALL @@@LOOKING FOR SPONSORS FOR POSTSEASON COVERAGE@@@

As I plan ahead to the costs associated with travel to this week's Big 12 Championship Game and what's ahead later in the month, I'd love to get some sponsors lined up to help alleviate those. Does anyone have connections to businesses or individuals that would be interested in coming on board as advertisers in the short-term, and potentially in the long-term if they like the response? All title game coverage would be sponsored by said business (i.e. The [insert business name] Ultimate Preview this Friday, the Offensive and Defensive Spotlights, sponsored by [insert business name]. For the potential CFP game or bowl game, we'd do a similar lineup of business-sponsored content.

You can reach me at CycloneReport@outlook.com to discuss details.

Thanks!

Why Not Us

Was the motto my local HS team used this year. They had never won a playoff game until this year and went on to beat West Hancock for the title.
I felt the 44 years of being an ISU fan the same way. Why not us? I do have high hopes for today simply because I am wearing shin guards, a nut cup, shoulder pads, and a helmet. I am an Iowa State fan I am used to disappointment. But, I am confident our boys are coming in ready to take home a workman like win! GO CLONES
