A loss @ OkSt would be the worst!!!

[chuckd4735]

I'm a 5th year senior at Iowa State and we haven't won in Stillwater in my lifetime. :no:

Streaks are made to be broken, especially this year in ISU athletics...

The poster was talking about the B12 tournament, not the NCAA tournament.

Thank you!

Umm no he wasn't. He specifically mentioned a top 4 seed in any region. There aren't regions in the Big 12 tournament unless they really changed the format and I missed it. It's a good attempt at making face here though.

Oklahoma State is a really talented team that simply hasn't figured out how to win yet. I just hope they don't learn anything by Tuesday. I think we have proven to be a tough club when we go on the road but his game still feels like a toss up to me...very similar to last week in Austin.

Busted!

Besides Drake, I personally think a loss this Tuesday will be our worst loss if we were to lose this game. I don't know how or why the team shouldn't win but the game is on the road and I can definitely see it happen.

I really like the tension building between these two schools in football and basketball but Iowa State has every power to silence them tomorrow. I really really hope we beat them.

Not being ranked probably doesn't matter but I thought it would have been nice to give this group of young men what they deserve - a spot on top 25. However, I have been a Cyclone way too long to realize our top 25 ranking usually doesn't last more than a week especially when we are cracking it at around 20+ ranks.

Anyway, the point of this thread is we need to win this game. It will look bad for us to lose this one on the road. We are no longer a team that can afford to lose to lesser teams in Big 12. We have a very good shot at making some national noise at the tournament. I also think its very possible to place 2nd or 3rd in the regular season.

Let's do it folks. Go Cyclones.

I am talking about the Big 12 tournament here.

 

[Cydkar]

I think we will lose to OSU and I also think it won't bother me nearly as much as it should because this board will entertain me.

 

[clonomaniac]

Tech would be the worst loss - I 100% agree. Hopefully by then, however, we would be ranked. But losing tomorrow will kill the momentum to make the 4 top seeds at the tournament in any region. Call me crazy but I think we have what it takes to be either 2, 3 or 4 in any of the regions in the bracket. Losing to lesser teams in Big 12 will kill that momentum.

I am talking about NCAA tournament here. The reason is Iowa State is a VERY able seed#2,3 and 4 seed if they win out. That probably won't happen especially if we don't win to lesser opponents in Big 12.

 

[RedlineSi]

I'm going to shoot some rings!

 

[nb06]

Yep, Basketball ring. There are times when every other shots fall right through, meaning it just looks bigger, meaning you have confidence, meaning you win games with 3 points. Got it? Good!

I can't help myself, this sound like the second coming of Roger Sprague!!

Some of you CF old timers will know what I'm talking about...:yes:

 

[InAWord]

This whole thread is painful. I am disappointed in myself for reading all four pages. Clearly clonomaniac has no idea what he is talking about.

CYA however you want man. It's not the first time you've been off base in this thread.

 

[Cincyclone]

Do you really think ISU can get a #2 seed? If so...wow.

10 minutes you cannot get back.

You will think about this on your death bed.

THIS!!

Page, Nash and Brown are studs and cobbins guerreo and juric arnt bad either. There starting 5 is legit but they have no depth and apparently Ford can't coach. It will not be an easy game

 

[CloneIce]

To describe tomorrow's game, I would say it's literally nothing but an opportunity. A loss doesn't do much to hurt us, a win would do nothing but help considerably. "Opportunity, not a necessity."

Yep, that's how I'd describe it too. We needed to win one of the road games in Oklahoma, we have won already, this one would be some great icing on the cake.

 

[ca4cy]

A lot like a tennis fence.

This comment deserves some props. :biglaugh:

 

[nhclone]

I just read the entire thread and the only thing I took away from it was....

I want to go shoot some basketball rings.

 

[CyDude16]

I don't know who's the biggest moron, clonomaniac, clonedude, or clones 21.....


has to be a toss up.

[akellar]

I have absolutely no idea what this has to do with anything but I don't care. I am in tears at my desk trying not to draw attention and attempting not to pass out from trying not to laugh out loud.
