The Iowa State women play Creighton tonight (Friday night) in the Sweet-16 in Greensboro, North Carolina. It is the Cyclones’ first trip to a regional semifinal since 2010.

That’s ISU coach Bill Fennelly who says the Cyclones are thrilled to be part if it.

Fennelly says at the point in the tournament it is about role players stepping up.

Fennelly says a key will be defending a Creighton team that can put five guards on the court.

Fennelly does not view his third seeded Cyclones as a heavy favorite over the 10th seeded Bluejays.
