ISU hopes to exploit homecourt
Iowa State advanced to
the second round of the
NCAAs at home last year
By Tim Pyle
Oregon Daily Emerald
Take heart, Oregon faithful —
perhaps the Ducks are better off
on the road.
According to Iowa State head
coach Bill Fennelly, hosting the
first two rounds of the NCAA
Tournament is not necessarily
much of an advantage.
The biggest headache Fennelly
said he has is attempting to keep
his fourth-seed Cyclones (22-7)
focused on the task at hand —
namely, Friday night’s first-round
matchup with 13th-seeded Santa
Clara (22-6) -— amid a blizzard of
both snow and local attention in
Ames, Iowa.
“There are a lot of demands on
our players’ time that the other
teams don’t have," Fennelly said.
“The biggest job my staff and I face
leading up to the game is making
sure that those things don’t cause
too much of a distraction.”
However, once the games be
gin, Fennelly hopes to take full
advantage of playing in the
14,044-seat Hilton Coliseum,
where Iowa State was 13-0 this
season
Despite hosting the first two
rounds last season — Oregon was
among the four teams in Ames
then, as well — the Cyclones lost
to Rutgers, 62-61, in the second
round.
This season, Iowa State earned
the fourth seed and the right to
host the first two rounds in the
Mideast Region for the second
straight season by quickly over
coming the fact that only four let
terwinners returned. Despite its
youth, Iowa State took second in
the Big 12 Conference in both the
regular season and the postseason
tournament.
"The differences between the
team this season and last are a lit
tle bit more inexperience but a lit
tle bit better ballhandling,” Fen
nelly said.
The Cyclones led the Big 12 in

three-pointers, making 220 triples
at a 39-percent clip, and held op
ponents to 38-percent shooting
from the field with a stingy zone
defense.
Among the newcomers, fresh
men Tracy Gahan and Angie
Welle are starters and junior-col
lege transfer Desiree Francis is
first off the bench.
Francis, a 6-foot forward, made
a big enough impact, with more
than 13 points and seven re
bounds per game, to be named
Big 12 newcomer of the year.
Welle, a 6-4 center, averages al
most 11 points and seven re
bounds per game, while Gahan, a
6-1 guard, produces more than
seven points and nearly five re
bounds per outing.
Veteran starters Monica Huel
man, Megan Taylor and Stacy
Frese and reserve guard Erica
Haugen receive the rest of the Cy
clones’ significant playing time.
Guards Frese and Taylor score
the bulk of Iowa State’s points
and both were All-Big 12 selec
tions.
Frese, a 5-8 junior, scores near
ly 17 points per game, boosted by
a team-high 79 threes. In hitting
those 79 three-pointers, Frese led
the nation in three-point accuracy
at 50 percent.
