Because of the Keegan Moore conversation. Every year there are some guys who ball out their senior year and make the podium or make a run to the finals: in 2018 Chance Marsteller and Ronnie Perry in the same year got 4th and 2nd.

1. You get 5 guys, lowest score wins.
2. Any combination of guys.
3. The only criteria is they can't be a previous AA (2020 season ones don't count).
4. To make this simple because of the extra year, we will go off of intermat rankings. If it says Sr on there, they are eligible to pick.
5. 1st place - 1 point, 2nd place - 2 points, etc.
6. R12 - 12 points, R16 - 16 points, anything else - 25 points

Remember him? Looks like he’s been drafted in the new USFL. Wonder if any other former Clones get a chance in this league.

Iowa State preview | Kansas preview

Not sure if people have seen this, but trouble at hand (literally) within NU women's BB....

The Williams & Blum had a very interesting proposition. "If the ISU women were playing by NBA rules (about fouling), they would be a Final Four team." I thought this deserved some discussion.

Since I don't work tomorrow and can't sleep...

The bubble teams, for the most part, are below...with resume highlights and/or lowlights included. There is no rhyme or reason to the way they're listed, by the way...

• Iowa State (NET 35; Q1 = 8)
• Oklahoma (NET 45; Q1 = 3; Q3 losses = 1)
• Rutgers (NET 80; Q1 = 6; Q3 losses = 2; Q4 losses = 1)
• San Francisco (NET 29; Q1 = 3; Q3 losses = 1; Q4 losses = 1)
• North Carolina (NET 42; Q1 = 1; Q4 losses = 1)
• Memphis (NET 44; Q1 = 3; Q3 losses = 2)
• SMU (NET 46; Q1 = 2; Q3 losses = 1; Q4 losses = 1)
• Michigan (NET 34; Q1 = 3; Q3 losses = 1)
• Creighton (NET 62; Q1 = 3; Q3 losses = 1)
• BYU (NET 54; Q1 = 3; Q4 losses = 1)
• Oregon (NET 63; Q1 = 2; Q3 losses = 3)
• San Diego State (NET 32; Q1 = 2)
• Kansas State (NET 60; Q1 = 4)
• Florida (NET 40; Q1 = 2; Q4 losses = 1)
• Mississippi State (NET 47; Q1 = 2; Q3 losses = 2)
• Virginia Tech (NET 41; Q1 = 0; Q3 losses = 2)
• Wyoming (NET 38; Q1 = 3; Q3 losses = 2)
• Seton Hall (NET 36; Q1 = 5)
• Notre Dame (NET 57; Q1 = 2; Q3 losses = 1)
• Marquette (NET 33; Q1 = 7)
• Loyola-Chicago (NET 37; Q1 = 2; Q3 losses = 1)
• Colorado State (NET 31; Q1 = 3; Q3 losses = 1)
• Miami (NET 65; Q1 = 4; Q3 losses = 3)
• Boise State (NET 30; Q1 = 4; Q4 losses = 1)
• Wake Forest (NET 40; Q1 = 1)
• St. Mary's (NET 21; Q1 = 3)
• Davidson (NET 50; Q1 wins = 2)
• North Texas (NET 39; Q1 = 1; Q3 losses = 1)
• TCU (NET 56; Q1 = 4)
• Indiana (NET 43; Q1 = 2)
• Iowa (NET 19; Q1 = 1)

Not one team even touches Iowa State's resume. Not one. I think the team that Iowa State is most similar to is Marquette. We have around the same NET and they have 7 Q1 wins, 10 total losses, and no Q3 or Q4 losses at all. Yet all the 'experts' have Marquette markedly higher than Iowa State on their brackets. Lunardi has ISU a 9, Marquette a 7, for instance. That will definitely change come tomorrow since our blowout win and their loss today aren't included in his latest bracket.

If a team like North Carolina is a play in game like Lunardi has them with their resume, how in the world wouldn't we be a play in game even if we lost out? I don't want to see that happen obviously...just trying to show that we are sitting better than literally everyone on this list if you look strictly at quality wins and losses. And it's not even close. For God's sakes, I just watch Katz talk about his last four teams in etc from Saturday and he has West Virginia as the 8th team out?! The fact they are even in the conversation at this point shows how weak the bubble is but also how GOOD the Big 12 is.

He wrote an article about being traded that is really interesting.

Enjoy!

AMES — In the eyes of many Iowa State fans, after blowing a 15-point second half lead to Kansas State last Saturday, the world was all but coming to an end. 



Seven days later, with two conference wins to show for it (at TCU on Tuesday and 75-54 over Oklahoma on Saturday), the Cyclones are right back in the thick of things when it comes to landing an NCAA Tournament berth under first-year head coach T.J. Otzelberger. 



There is still work left to be done, but let’s take a look at where things standing heading into the final stretch of the season. 



First things first … 



We need to acknowledge what the NCAA Tournament committee did on Saturday...

I couldn't find an older 80/35 thread.

Father John Misty headlining Friday night is a huge draw for me - I've not made it to 80/35 before, this should do it for me:

Welcome to another weekly edition of music related posts we call On That Note. The OTN team is @cyclones500, @CycloneRulzzz and me.

This week we're looking at songs (Titles, Lyrics, Artists) that contain the written word. Examples words are (but not limited to) Letters, Books, Magazines, Newspapers, Diaries.

To clarify - it has to use one of the forms of media, not simply an allusion to it. For instance these do not qualify:

---“I read the news today, oh boy” (A Day in the Life, Beatles).
---“Yesterday’s news is tomorrow’s fish and chip paper” (Fish ’n’ Chip Paper, Elvis Costello).

In addition, specific titles of publications don't qualify ("The Cover of the Rolling Stone," or "1984" by Spirit)

Last week's OTN was "Don't Fear the Repeater" and can be found here:

This is from the Twitter thread. Something about this picture. Campbell really enjoying himself. Settled in. Confident. Just nice to see.

Just wanting to give you guys a quick heads up that the forums will be down for maintenance tomorrow morning starting at 8 for 3-4 hours.

We are upgrading to the latest version of XenForo, in preparation for the launch of our new app.

Sorry to have to do this during the week during the day but I unfortunately do not have a choice.

It will be nice to get things upgraded too.

Thank you for your patience..

Cyclones will likely be invading Sin City in 2031! UNLV is scheduled to come to Ames in 2030 and, based upon our historical scheduling approach, we should be headed there again in 2031!

Hopefully ticket prices were covered in the contract!

Right now most brackets have us on the 8/9 line, assuming that ends up being the case with a possible 2nd round matchup which 1 seed would you prefer to be in a region with?
