Guess these aren"t "secret" now. STrib reporting.

" Oct. 19 scrimmage at Iowa State, sources told the Star Tribune on Friday."
Recaps and stats are released after secret scrimmages, but the schools can’t announce the scrimmage or allow fans or media to attend.

Crazy that it’s only a month away.

Bought my season ticket today!

They just need to make this an annual home/home game... but most likely will never happen because of Gophers.

Back in the late 80's early 90's we did some with them. Great road trip for Cyclone fans. I went to the game in Williams Arena where Minny hit the scoreboard inbounding the ball to seal the victory for ISU. My rampant cheering during the game was not well received by the Minnesota lady sitting ahead of me during the game.

I was in Florida during that game, but I did see ISU play Minnesota in Hilton the year before!

Appears we will also be scrimmaging Wisconsin in addition to Minnesota. The Wiscy scrimmage will be taking place October 26th in Cedar Rapids.

Any fellow Cedar Rapids residents want to find a way to sneak into this? I assume they’ll play at like Coe or Mt. Mercy.

 

[scottwv]

Are these actual scrimmages? Situational scenarios against another team (game tied 2 minutes left, etc)? both?

 

[1UNI2ISU]

They usually play 3 'halves' with the last one being situational and/or developmental for young players.

 

[knowlesjam]

Nice to see ISU playing two fairly high placed BIG teams. This can only pay dividends for Clones. Also comforting to see Iowa adjusting to Fran's MAAC roots and "easing" his team into the season.

 

[heitclone]

I really like having two p5 teams to scrimmage.,....Fran must have booked Illinois State before Prohm could get a chance.

 

[mj4cy]

Fran really testing his team there...

 

[woodm07]

Scrimmages are so early, returning players will likely do best. Glad we at least had the Italy trip to prepare.

Gotta prepare for the real ISU.

FYI ISU plays UofMinn Saturday and a whispers of ISU sleeper potential note from a Minny reporter.

@Marcus_R_Fuller Another note on Big 12 hoops. #Gophers play at Iowa State on Saturday in a secret scrimmage closed to the public and media. Cyclones are seventh in their league's preseason poll, but I'm hearing they're a strong sleeper pick to contend in the upper half. Should be a good test.

I didn't expect us 7th, but I can see why coaches picked us there when they see what we lost.

I expected us 5th. Ultimately, I'd say 2-8 is a toss up.
