"if you win your home games and win on the road, you know 5-4 on the road, you're going to have a chance at 14-4 i think kansas won it last yeat at 13-5 i believe. but 13-14 wins, because of how good this league is, i think is going to put you right there. so obviously taking care of home is huge. you know looking at our record last year, we were 12-6 yesterday

column, because we lost up there last year. but we gotta chance if we can take care of home this week to be a plus one, because baylor got us here last year, but it's about tech wednesday and if we do that, we've won our first home game. and so you gotta win at home and then put yourself in position to win as many as you can on the road." jordan: over to women's hoops, since starting 2-3...the iowa state cyclones have been on a tear. isu didn't lose a single game in december and has now won 8 in a row! clearly this is not the same isu team that began the season. talking with coach bill fennelly, i asked him what sparked such a rapid change for his squad...
