The three reasons I want ISU to win today
#1. It would be awesome for any Cyclone fan.
#2. I have ISU to the final 4 in my bracket.
#3. Calipari is a dirty slimeball and I have very strong dislike for him.
 
Just read the game preview on espn. It sounds like they're going to put Kidd-Gilchrist on Royce. I would guess that means Davis goes on Melvin and Jones goes on Babb. Honestly I like this match up on offense as I don't think it matters who guards Royce, Royce will do what Royce does, but at the other two front court positions it plays into our hands of being quicker and smaller. Should be interesting.

If this is the case we could definitely use a good three point shooting night out of Melvin when Davis helps on Royce.

If you're gonna take 'em to the final 4 you might as well have put them in the championship!

I'm hoping we can keep it close, and not be down by anymore than 5 at the half...
and no Cyclone in any serious foul trouble.
Otherwise, we could fall into an epic windmill tonight, eh Erik? ;o)

'Hektor, argue me no agreements. I cannot forgive you.
As there are no trustworthy oaths between men and lions,
nor wolves and lambs have spirit that can be brought to agreement
but forever these hold feelings of hate for each other,
so there can be no love between you and me, nor shall there be
oaths between us, but one or the other must fall before then
to glut with his blood Ares the god who fights under the shield's guard.' (22.261-267)
 
I think we need to come out and be the aggressor, punch them in the mouth first. I want to see how UK's young team handles ISU jumping down their throats because I think a young team like theirs is susceptible to coming unglued. I can see these guys trying to play one-on-one "I'm a 5 star hero" basketball and when they do that, we've got'em fellas, we've got'em.

Go TEAM! Go Cyclones!
 
Get real folks. We will be lucky to lose by less than 30 points. Maybe if Cal is feeling sympathetic, he may ask his players to back-off a bit in the last 10 minutes. That is the only way we keep it within 30.

Anthony Davis could school Royce White on one leg. Cal could outcoach Fred while sleeping.

It's been a good season. Predictions for next year?
 
48And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came, and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
49And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth.
50So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David.
51Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled.
