Nyamer Diew

DIEWING WHAT IT TAKES
Nyamer Diew's 19-point effort (including four 3-pointers) against Oklahoma yesterday was incredible in many contexts. She did it coming off the bench (in the second half, that was a request of hers to the coaching staff), she did it after not scoring against Baylor on Friday and she did it in the Big 12 semifinals.

Ashley Joens

'GOAT' COMPANY
Ashley Joens is now 13th in NCAA Division I Women's Basketball history for career points at 3,009 and the next names on the list are definitely in the 'GOAT' territory: Cheryl Miller of USC at 3,018 (a name familiar to many ISU fans with Joens winning the Cheryl Miller Award twice), Tennessee legend Chamique Holdsclaw at 3,025, UConn's Maya Moore is 10th at 3,036 and former Delaware star and now WNBA star Elena Delle Donne at 3,039 in ninth.
