Halftime Entertainment

  • After Iowa State won the Big 12, a Cyclone made a wonderful offer to We Will that now increases our match. Now all gifts up to $400,000 between now and the Final 4 will be matched. Please consider giving at We Will Collective.

This was probably already posted or discussed somewhere, so feel free to point me in that direction, but was there any sort of story around why there's no halftime entertainment this year? I looked on cyclones.com and it looks like the only game with anything scheduled at halftime is KState and the FM Acro team.

They don't want the halftime entertainment to outshine the product on the floor.

Hopefull thinking, but perhaps Pollard is saving money for CSP buyout at the end of the year?

I wonder if they're applying that same logic when they select a guy who's clearly never shot a basketball before to do the John Deere 3 pt contest

I’ve always said have students audition then pic out the best and then give them 6-7 min of open mic comedy act. Could be dangerous but eh, what the hell. It’s a win win, their funny or they suck and then you make fun of them.

I remember that at veishea once. Hiawatha Rutland went out there and basically started talking **** about the crowd. We had a riot a day later. Coincidence, i think not.

After putting up five air ball's in a row it's time to go overhand or two handed underhand. When will they learn.

I was fully entertained the last time they had 9 year olds playing 5 on 5 during half.
