Curious since I've seen a few that ended up on ESPN+. Would love to see the team one extra time early this season. Loved that cyclones.tv used to air them when we used to have all our untelevised games on there. Overall actually, I just miss having Cyclone TV put all those on air in general.

ESPN+ is cheaper (if you don’t have mediacom) and way more reliable than Cyclones TV. Remember that disaster when they tried to put the Texas (?) game on the Jumbotron after a basketball game? Woof. But ESPN+ is where it would be if ISU still did one.

There hasn’t been an exhibition game in 5 years.
 
I know the 'secret' scrimmages are much more useful for the team. But I do miss having an extra game or two to attend.

The days of exhibition games against Marathon Oil on WOI TV are long gone.

I thought we played World Basketball Opportunities more than Marathon Oil. But Oil has the better name, no doubt.

Global Sports
Next Level Sports
Latvian National
EA Sports

Those all come to mind too.

Except U.S. International was an actual D-I team (in basketball, anyway).

The school went bankrupt in Dec. 1990.

The USIU Soaring Gulls were the greatest show in college basketball

The USIU Soaring Gulls were a Division I team run on an NAIA budget. And for a brief moment they were the greatest show in college basketball.

Good point -- I think ISU played regular season, not exhibition vs. USI (but "seems" like exhibition type of school). ... not sure when, remember it from early '80s. I'd have to search.

Here's a random retro-review (from 2018):

Also, USIU was on losing end of this classic - despite Kevin Bradshaw's 72-point performance. Additional note -- this wasn't even the highest-scoring matchup between the two - LMU won 181-150 a few years earlier.
