Session I recap! Enjoy!

WBB: Iowa State faced one of the slowest paces in college basketball in its win over No. 11 Princeton Wednesday.

On Friday, against No. 6 Michigan, it will be against one of the fastest. More here from @cfchangs9:

***TEAM SCORES THROUGH SESSION 1***

@brentblum says we need another $200,000 to be in solid position for this portal season.
I'll pledge $50 for every tournament win - $200 if we slay the Sparty along the way.
Brent, please provide a link/venmo address in this thread.
Every dollar counts!

I did a little analysis of a few of the high profile bracketologists. Here are the results:

Lunardi got 47.5 of the seedings correct (18 also in the correct regional).
He got 24 of the Top 8 seedings.
Notable misses (by more than 1 seed rank): Louisville, Memphis.
Predicted by not picked for the tournament: West Virginia, Indiana.

Palm got 38.5 of the seedings correct (17.5 also in the correct regional).
He got 16 of the Top 8 seedings.
Notable misses (by more than 1 seed rank): Louisville, Illinois.
Predicted by not picked for the tournament: West Virginia, Indiana.

Bracketometry got 51 of the seedings correct (23.5 also in the correct regional).
He got 25 of the Top 8 seedings.
Notable misses (by more than 1 seed rank): Louisville, Memphis.
Predicted by not picked for the tournament: West Virginia, Indiana.

Lunardi did better than I expected, nearly as good as Bracketometry which is very highly rated. Palm sucks.

Iowa State’s Nate Heise, Tamin Lipsey, Brandt Chatfield, Curtis Jones, and Cade Kelderman spoke to the media ahead of their matchup with Lipscomb.

I received a sticker to replace my transponder.
I used to move the transponder to our other vehicle when we'd travel/use to bring it on vacation when we'd have a rental car.

Are the days of being able to do that over?

WBB: Iowa State rallied behind a third quarter comeback to escape Princeton, securing a spot to face No. 6 Michigan on Friday in South Bend.

Well, this one wasn't what anyone expected, but there hasn't been anything about this season that has gone to script. Some of that has to do with the players in the other jerseys. Tonight was something exciting for the good and the bad. Ladies prevail.

Lea Nelson and Chelsea Poppens react to Iowa State’s First-Four win over Princeton to advance to play Michigan in the Round of 64.

Looking to watch the mens game with friends and family this friday at a local establishment. Any recommendations for bars or Cyclone focused bars to hang out in the Des Moines area this Friday.

Thx
