The 6-11, 240-pound freshman forward from Gotha, Germany has packed 15 pounds onto his expansive frame since joining Iowa State’s program last summer — and it’s anything but dead weight.
So Brown, who scored six points, grabbed seven rebounds, and dished out six assists in just under her 20-minute allotment, took a deep breath and continued.

ISU is looking to enhance both its Big 12 Tournament seeding, as well as a solid, but vulnerable NCAA Tournament resume. The Cyclones are currently pegged as a No. 9 seed by ESPN women’s basketball bracketologist Charlie Creme, so their likely on the right side of the bubble, but not by much — and they’re not alone.
Once Heise sank his momentous long-distance shot, it was probably about 5:15 a.m. Milan time — so maybe mom and dad are early risers.
The Wildcats whittled the Cyclones’ 13-point lead early in the fourth quarter to just one, at 69-68, with 1:19 left, but ISU’s Kenzie Hare swished her second 3-pointer to help keep them at bay. It was just the third field goal attempt for Hare, but she finished with nine points.

Cyclone head women's basketball coach Bill Fennelly said Friday that Brown has finally been cleared to resume some basketball activities.
Ninth-ranked Kansas (19-5, 9-2 Big 12) beat the No. 5 Cyclones (21-3, 8-3) by 21 points a month ago before its raucous home crowd at Allen Fieldhouse. It ignited a seven-game win streak for the then-struggling Jayhawks. It also started a brief two-game skid for ISU, which countered that by winning five straight before Tuesday’s 62-55 setback at TCU.
Ross Watson and his fellow primary defensive staffers fully share that intense feeling as they dig into their collective fresh start at ISU.

Rogers said last month that he was “shocked” by how quickly and successfully his new offensive line room came together. It’s a blend of seasoned talent headlined by Maasai King (Akron), Jake Taylor (Oklahoma) and Gavin Broscious (Michigan State), and returning players such as Austin Barrett and Garrett Rutledge, among several others.
