Three W’s to start the season and while Tamin leads the way with career high night for points, the bench got in on the scoring as well. Offense is clicking along well. Of course, causing all those turnovers was a big part of that success. #BlueCy

The bench. The whole damn bench is stepping up. 10 players on the floor in the first half and 9 of them have scored. #BlueCy

24 to 8 run to end the half. Feels a lot better than when Mississippi was getting all the foul calls early and holding the early lead. Now keep the foot on the gas in the 2nd half. #BlueCy

We also cancelled Disney/ESPN. I prefer to listen to John and Eric than other announcers anyway.

She had a great game. Was good for the bench players to get some significant time on the floor and they pretty much all showed up and shined out.

Wow, the fouls are piling up early. Who is going to step up for the Cyclones? #BlueCy

Medicare 4 all.

Why should we pay all that money to insurance companies who deny us coverage and make medical decisions based on company profits? We pay more for less.

CALL NOW: Tell Your Democratic Senator It's Time for Chuck Schumer to Step Aside

We deserve a Democratic Party that is willing to fight as hard as we are.

We need new leadership in this moment and to get there, we need a chorus of support for change. Tell your Democratic senators to call on Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. It’s time for drastic action.

Buchanan 8 points, 9 rebounds, and 4 blocks while playing 21 minutes. But he did still have four fouls. He'll get there. #BlueCy

Again, Jefferson just quietly up to 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 assists with more than 14 minutes still to play. Workman like performance, just punching the clock and showing up to work every game. #BlueCy

Audi’s got a lot more points in her. Is it too early to start the pool on final career total? #BlueCy

Hope that is nothing major. Awfully early in the season to start having players banged up.
