I feel like I've been saying this almost every week, but WOW, what a weekend of upsets!

The first, approximately, was #12 Josh Alber of Northern Iowa over #1 Jaydin Eierman.

After that we had #4 Austin DeSanto of Iowa takedown [literally, nobody has had a takedown on him this year, despite the loss to Fix] #2 Nick Suriano. That upset would have paved the way for a top 2 ranking at 133 for Daton Fix since he took out Suriano last week..........until #21 Micky Phillippi of Pittsburgh beat #7 Daton Fix in their dual on Sunday. As the Flo guys said via twitter, ranking 133 should be fun this week.

officials robbed our boy. Effing BS dudes

While going through the KU forums, they keep mentioning that they have petitioned the NCAA last Thursday(1/17) to let Silvio DeSousa suit up and play now. Isn't about time for the NCAA to help poor ol' KU. I mean, it was only $2500 or $25000 that is in question.

Want the Chiefs & Rams to win today which I'm sure means it will be a Pats vs. Saints Super Bowl.

Quite frankly as long as the Pats don't win the Super Bowl I will be fine with whoever else wins it.

Since we are 33% into the conference I thought I’d throw out some Cyclone conference play stats for these first six games. For the six game stretch to 4-2 we have some terrific individual and team stats.

Carleton: 24 ppg, 8 reb, 6 ast, 41% 3pt, 86% ft. Everything, just everything.

Scott: 70% fg, 58% 3pt, 81% ft, 14 ppg, 6 reb. Those percentages!

Joens: 50% 3pt, 13 ppg, 5 reb. 50% from 3pt is awesome especially when taking the most attempts. The right person IS taking them.

Middleton: 89% ft, 5 ast

The team is ahead of opponents face-to-face in every single category. Pretty great start to the conference.

The only really horrible stat was Camber shooting both 13% from the field and from three.

Going to get tougher the next two weeks with three road games including #2 Baylor. Four of our first six were at Hilton. Need to find a source for SW Fox to get the Baylor game, will be interesting to see how we do there.

Forgot to post for you guys last night. Here's my column on the game, and the last week for the Cyclones.

It's pretty funny seeing all the guys walking back to their cars carrying a purse before the games since they don't allow purses inside of Hilton anymore.

Huge game on Monday! Tickets are around $50 to catch the game at the Phog. I just bought a couple from here:

Hope to see some of you there! Go Cyclones!

Good finish coming up on LHN. Matthew McConaughey on the Texas bench like an assistant coach

I figure that Phog Allen is probably worth around 6 points. On a neutral you'd have to think we're favored after beating them by 17 a few weeks ago. Kansas -2.5 to -3.5 is my guess. Would love to know the last time they were an underdog at home.

Texas has played 2 noncon P5 teams quite a bit recently, dont know why it would be so hard for aTm to figure this out.
I'd imagine they'd want that Black Friday back.

Looked like a few Niang-esque moves in the post from Jacobson. Seems like he is improving every game. Can we get Georges over to Ames for a one-on-one with Jacobson? Is that a thing?

Baylor beat T Tech. WV beat KU.

I seem to remember that Jirehl is playing in the Polynesian Bowl. Isn’t that televised this evening?

There certainly want much to complain about the start to this game. There wasn’t much that could go wrong for the ladies. Racing out to a 10-0 lead, you could see the ladies had come ready to play and play they did. While Carlton made some good hustle plays, this was a day that was about everyone. Joens continues to improve game by game as she scored inside and out. She hit six treys as the team shot 47% from deep. That big first quarter saw the team shoot 70% from the field as they raced to an almost insurmountable 39-11 lead. From there out the two teams (OU started four frosh) battled to a draw with OU never getting closer than the final margin.

The team definitely cooled off after the first as they went just over three minutes to start the second without a score until Wise nailed a trey. Speaking of Wise...this girl is starting to remind me of Megan Taylor, or as my friend used to call her..."the little engine that could." She hustles her tail off and rebounds in a similar manner to Taylor and is developing her three point touch. You always used to see Taylor on the move and Wise is putting in the same effort.

Scott continues to shine down low and Burkhall had a solid game coming off the bench. She was a rebounding monster picking up a team high 10 boards. She did have one strange play as she pulled down her 8th board and had no one to pass to. Rather than dribble she had the ball stolen under the OU basket. Of course OU missed the basket.

After the game Sheri was very complimentary of our team. Every comment she made pointed to a group that plays team ball. She had the chance to see everyone play and even the subs did a good job of maintaining the lead. The only question I had pertained to the limited play of Rae Johnson. I didn’t see anything happen to her and may have missed something.

After two tough losses the team played like an upper echelon Big 12 team. We need to continue seeing this level of play if we hope to end up on the opposite side of the tourney bradket from Baylor. We get to see how we match up with the Bears in our next outing in Waco...a place that has never been very friendly to the sisters. Here is hoping they bring their "A" game. If they do it should be fun to watch.

Harvey,Peavy, Payne and Eaton are all playing in it today. Its on right now on FS1.

Ugly one here. Tied at half at 23. KU ballhandling looks suspect as usual and can’t hit anything. Part of me would rather see KU come off with a win going into Monday and I sure wouldn’t mind the couch burners be 0-6 in the Big 12.
