I'm sure Fran has it drawn up to go shake Conditt and Gabe early.

I think this will be the biggest key to the game. Will the game be called like the first 35 min against Creighton, or the last 5 min against Creighton? ISU will get taken completely out of their element early if they draw a referee crew that is whistle happy
They will absolutely go right at Conditt right out of the gate. I do think that this years squad is right mentally and won't get sucked into their game.
This is a great point. They were letting us be really handsy with Creighton.
Yeah I’m wrong. When I heard he was out until Illini game I was assuming that we were the next game.
I bet he sits tonight and plays Thursday.
- Super Bowl.
I, too, expect that. Hope he responds well with minimal fouling (but still effective).
My other fear is he'll adjust to it well, yet refs call a couple of nonsense soft-touch "fouls" within like first 3 minutes.
And we should go right at joblow The whole game. Make his life miserable. Face guard him. He’s a whiny little bitc* so hope his bad attitude rubs off on the rest of his teammates.
If we had one more big I'd feel better about the game and the season. Jones is not good.
They have an unusually compressed stretch of P6 games for this time of year. Very odd to have @ACC, @B1g, B1G, @B12 this early in late Nov/early December without it being part of a tournament.
They will be sitting pretty if they make it through 3-1 or 2-2.
Let's just say Seth and Rece Davis go in a quiet room together and arouse themselves by dissing everything Iowa State. Effin weirdos.
Remember that many computer rankings still have some residual data from last year for up to another month. See NET rankings.
I'm not worried about it. We are held way back by what is in there yet from last year. Even a loss to Iowa and our clones will still be in the top twenty by the end of non con. Just don't slip up on Mizzery or worse yet one of the pud u's and its gonna stay pretty steady.

I like Jones' spunk. His role is mainly fill minutes at the 5, he isn't a big offensive threat.
You know what'd be fun? If he had to play more minutes than usual vs. Iowa, then he goes off for 19 points (including like 9 of 10 from the FT line) to help fuel a W.
(Not making a prediction -- just a pleasant fantasy I'd like to see).

He knows his role, which is good. And he does give good effort. I just wish he could drop 1-footers in more consistently when he has the opportunity.
Nice ranking fun to be there again and yet some thought the TJ hire was not impressive. A lot of season left I know, but it’s fun again.
