Iowa State will play UConn in Dayton on Sunday.

Last time these teams met in the postseason, the Cyclones won, sending the Huskies home in one of the big upsets of 1999.

This time? Bill Fennelly, who loves his Twitter, tweeted this week: "Probably shouldn't have watched so much UConn on video... Great team."

Fennelly speaks articulately, and at unusual length, to Voepel about team history, team preparation, and the not-so-great health of his fine point guard, Alison Lacey, who is still recovering from pneumonia. "Her timing and her shot are both a little off," he says, but "her at 50% is still really good."

ISU will have a plan, Voepel says, just as they did in some Big XII games where the Cyclones came in as underdogs. The mystery in the plan will be on defense: everyone in the country who has ever watched Iowa State knows what they do on offense. They shoot threes.
