Izzy Zingaro

She goes for 23 with 9 rebounds in a Cleveland State WIT win tonight. I was a huge Izzy fan when she was at Iowa State, so I am happy to see her do well at a lower level of play.

But I do feel sad for her situation. Cleveland State was hosting a tournament game and the arena was empty. Other than the teams and the cheer squads...I think that the arena had about 30-40 people in the seats. Very few people saw what she did tonight.

Let Him Cook: Cyclones headed to the Sweet 16

Dylan Coon and Nigel Dyson recap a fun weekend for the Iowa State Cyclones as they move on to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament. The boys break down both games, the Joshua Jefferson injury, and look ahead to the Tennessee match-up coming up this weekend.


Best B-Ball Analysts?

Clark Kellogg confidently called the UK game's outcome. He said the clones would win and LIpsey would be the key during pre-game, and again at half time saying clones' defense would put them up by 10. Very understated but confident demeanor. Knows what he's talking about vs Seth Davis who doesn't know details about teams he should know and is very superficial in his analysis. Am I over-reacting?

Great news headline

This is a news story headline that I didn't have on my bingo card:


Took me awhile to wrap my head around the mechanics of both the cornholing and the murdering.

Bad Time To Fly Back Home to Tampa…

In a unique set of circumstances currently. Need to fly back “home” to Tampa and I’m absolutely surrounded by last-minute bowl game Hok travelers… Additionally, a bunch of flights including mine were also delayed, so it’s quite chaotic at the DSM airport. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers fanatics; as if this portal szn couldn’t be any worse! o_O

Interested to see the thoughts from the rest of the fan base.

Pros:

You beat Iowa
Undefeated non-con even though it was the weakest schedule you could ask for
Cracked top 10

Cons
- Lost to a terrible Cincinnati squad
- Blew a 12 point lead in the 4th quarter against TCU because you "ran out of gas"
- Said the goal was to be "monsters in March" and were one and done in the Big 12 tournament and NCAA tournament.
- Have quite possibly the worst defense in P4. (Unsure if its lazy, poor IQ, or poor scheme)
- Have zero offense outside of "pass the ball to Audi"

I anticipate Bill and the entire staff being back next year as a "retirement tour." My hope is we find a way to get a little new blood to come in to bring some life to the defensive end - zero ***** were given in the second quarter today, or the entrie first half against Arizona State - and the "zero defensive ***** given" mindset for entire quarters really was an issue we had all year.

Cody Campbell tomorrow morning

Tomorrow correspondence.

"Hey Grant.

I know Obi was done a few weeks ago,...but your guys went up to Ames and showed up hard.

What the hell happened last night? Nobody showed up. The effing Cyclones beat the living f*** out of Kentucky yesterday afternoon.

They lost their AA Joshua Jefferson 46 hours ago!!!! Kentucky had a $22M payroll!!!! Are you hoping for more $$$$????

Good luck and stay in touch.
