How the basketball schedule stacks up...

[VeloClone]

Interestingly Tech pays a visit to Hilton the last game of the conference season resulting in a matchup of two top conference title contenders. If ISU is eliminated from the title hunt and Tech needs a win to put the Kansas streak out of its misery are you rooting for a Tech win so that the god awful streak is ended or are you rooting for ISU to play spoiler?

Even though I want the bogus streak to end as much as anyone, I will always root for the Cyclones. Cyclones for the win.

I just wanted to get the take from more Cyclone fans.

 

[CycloneErik]

All Cyclones, all the time.
We'll knock Kansas out yet.

 

[SCyclone]

I'm hoping the Cyclones' win in the season finale against Tech is the impetus to vault us into first place!

 

[coolerifyoudid]

I will never root for a Cyclone loss.

However, if a loss means KU loses their streak, it will help soften the blow.

 

[EIClone]

It is interesting that the four teams that are (were) tied for 1st have match ups against another 1st place team the next game. ISU @ Kansas last night, Tech @ K State tonight.

With Baylor winning it will be squeezed in 1/2 game ahead of the losers and 1/2 game behind the winners.

Anyone that would ever, ever cheer for someone other than Iowa State in that situation, is no fan.

Screw that, I want my swirly bois to be the team that dethrones them.

Looking at remaining schedules, ISU has played the hardest thus far.

 

[LLCoolCY]

Always an ISU win... if it comes down to the last game then TT didn't take care of business them selves vs KU.
Secondarily, I want ISU to break the Jayhawk streak and be the trivia answer to the question of who ended it.

Yeah, it would be nice if Tech and ISU are playing for sole ownership of the championship in that game. The league schedulers would be in line for a tidy little bonus. Except for the fact that it is pushed aside on ESPNews.

 

[Mtowncyclone13]

I don't give a **** who wins unless it's Iowa State. I don't get joy from another team winning, regardless of who it is.

 

[RonBurgundy]

ISU!!

Not going to cheer against our boys! Besides the KU streak is as authentic as Bill's hair. Cheating, ******* program.

I want Kansas to be the trivia answer to "Which team won the Big 12 prior to Iowa State's current 26 year streak?"

 

[BoxsterCy]

**** Kansas.
**** them here.
**** them there.
**** them everywhere.

However, Cyclones for the win every time unless it were to somehow result in the Hawkeyes being national champs in something. That would be an extinction level event I never want to see.

 

[CyCloned]

Interesting question. I would like the Clones to dethrone KU, but at this point it could be anyone that does it. Just don't want to give up a loss at Hilton to make it happen.

So far this year ISU has lost 3 very close games because they kind failed to score for long stretches in games, mostly because they were taking bad shots. Need to clean that up and win out.

 

[awd4cy]

I don’t care if KU wins the league again because we beat someone that was tied with them. Iowa State wins above all else.

 

[chuckd4735]

I want KU to win the championship every year until ISU can be the ones to dethrone them. I don't want another team to do it.

I opened this thread hoping for some in depth talk about remaining schedules for both Iowa State and the other contenders. I feel like I got duped.

ISU has 11 games left. 8 of those are against teams currently in the bottom half of the standings. 2 of the other 3 are at home (BU, Tech).

KU has not played Tech or KSU yet.

ISU is the only team to have completed a series with two conference opponents. The only other teams that are done with a series are the two that ISU is done with (KU and OSU). Really a strange schedule for ISU this year.
