People are worried about ISU starting slow, and it's a legitimate concern.

But you could argue that the Cyclones have played their best game of the season in the Round of 64 for three years straight:

2012 vs. UConn, 77-64 (8 vs. 9)
2013 vs. Notre Dame, 76-58 (10 vs. 7)
2014 vs. NC Central, 93-75 (3 vs. 14)
2015 vs. UAB, ??? (3 vs. 14)

Each of those games were followed by good performances as well:

2012 vs. #1 overall seed Kentucky, played well against an amazing team
2013 vs. #2 seed Ohio State, came down to the wire and almost got a 10-2 upset
2014 vs. #6 seed UNC, got the win without Georges Niang

Fred seems to know what he's doing to get these guys ready for the Big Dance.

They aren't doing it right...

Someone needs to post them a picture of the "real" trophy.

 

[buf87]

I don't have any problem with their thread. Most seem to respect Iowa State.

And I hope we don't take any team for granted or we might be going home early.

I forgot about this thing. It's even worse in hindsight.

Ya know, I never noticed the well formed bosom on the mom there...this trophy is starting to grow on me....

If Texas, Oklahoma, and Kansas can't wake us up for the beginning of the game, I think we'll see the sleepwalking Cyclones for another consecutive game. Just hope we can keep the 2nd half magic adjustments going.

Georges needs to call a pre game meeting.

 

[bluestarcyclone]

This should be true, but ISU has had more "wake up calls" this year than a Holiday Inn Express.

True, but i think its easier to sleep on a random team in the regular season than a march 'win or you're done' type of game.

 

[cyrocksmypants]

There hasn't been one tournament game where Fred's boys have "slept" through it. Until he has one, I'm going to trust that Fred will get the boys up for this one as well.

 

[CYEATHAWK]

Listen I don't even know where Ugly A** Baskeball is from.. I haven't heard of them before.. I'm not worried. TCU would probably walk all over them. TCU for crying out loud.

FIFY

Obvious trolling..

I don't know anything about trolling, but did you see the last post?! They think we sing to it in Des Moines! And our alma mater is called "I Owe Io-way"!!!

 

[BoxsterCy]

I wish Alabama and Mississippi would just become one single state. Surely if combined they could produce something worthwhile.

Not likely unless preserving the best of racism is somehow deemed worthwhile. Both of the states trump any other in that category.

BTW, the reason General Sherman marched through Georgia is that there was nothing worth destroying in Alabama.

Anybody trying to use that thread as bulletin board stuff needs to find another hobby. They sound about as reasonable as any fan base ever. I actually enjoyed the read.

 

[khardbored]

A little background about UAB . . .

University of Area of Birmingham, so called because all of the residents of the area in Birmingham, MS, go there for free.

They are the "Blazers" because when the college was founded everyone had to wear sport coats all the time, ie: "Blazers."

Their mascot is a fire breathing dragon because, you know those old-timey maps where people would draw serpents in the ocean? Early explorers thought there were a lot of those in the area.

They are racially desegregated as of 1988.

Let's Do this for Floyd of Rosedale!!!!! According to their site. Can't wait until the team brings it back to Des Moines with them to Iowa State University.

C'mon they are giving us more alley-oops than Morris to McKay right now. "YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT ****"!!!!

Georges needs to call a pre game meeting.

Word. I'll be pregaming as well.

 

[00clone]

Word. I'll be pregaming as well.

I'm with you train....we do this as a team, or we're not going to do it at all.

wow they werent even competitive in a lot of games im just curious what makes some so confident in beating us and others more in touch with reality. Its the tourney so anything can happen and i hope our boys arent overlooking them.

C'mon they are giving us more alley-oops than Morris to McKay right now. "YOU GOTTA DUNK THAT $hit"!!!!

That "58-56" poster on their board is really tossing us some softballs-gotta hit those outta the park! He's got some funny stuff. "58-56" must be his zip code with the dash in place of a secret number?

I actually had a nephew or second cousin or something like that, that years ago played basketball for UAB. Was a transfer from a CC in California, a guard.
