Lady Raiders Host Iowa State. The Lady Raiders host the Iowa State Cyclones at 2:00 pm at the United Supermarkets Arena, the game being on FOX Sports Southwest. Iowa State is 11-4, 3-1 on the year while the Lady Raiders are 9-7, 0-5 thus far. LAJ’s Nicholas Talbot previews the game. Here’s head coach Candi Whitaker on the Cyclones:

She is a forward, but she has a lot of guard tendencies, which creates a tough matchup for a lot of teams.”

This really is Kirby Hocutt at his best here. Talking about the process of being appointed as the College Football Playoff chairman and how he expects to fulfill that role. If you’d like the written portion, LAJ’s Don Williams recaps the press conference.
Pretty interesting that Hocutt averaged to watch 20 football games per week. That’s a lot of football.
