ALWAYS OUR COACH OF THE WEEK
Last week's pair of big Iowa State wins did not go unrecognized nationally, as ESPN.com named Bill Fennelly its Women's Basketball Coach of the Week (read here). After getting career win No. 750 against then-No. 17 Texas last Monday, Fennelly and the Cyclones followed it up in double overtime at Baylor, getting just the program's third win in Waco.
