*** Official IOWA STATE vs Villanova Game(Day) Thread ***

So who is this Nova team this year? No more Wright.

Love that even after undefeated non conf and sweet 16 last year we still come into this as an afterthought. ESPN’s story this morning focusing pretty much entirely on UNC and Alabama. No sniff in AP poll of “others with votes”. Just playing with house money again despite again possibly having elite defense in college bball.

Sure the field is more loaded but we have a great chance to have an even bigger early season surprise.

FWIW seems people are sleeping on MSU a bit too so not like I’m bent out of shape, just love that we are still a little under the radar even though I suspect we haven’t dropped off much from last year.

Grain of salt, depending on how much stock we can put in BPI, but it's connected to PKI and views ISU favorably (so far) compared to the full field.

North Carolina is worse than you think, Alabama is better: What it means for the PKI

The odds of the AP No. 1 Tar Heels winning the power-packed PKI in Portland this Thanksgiving weekend are surprisingly not high. Here's why, according to BPI.

I’m thankful that Iowa State fans will act rationally and respectfully no matter what happens in this game today.

Overweight in-law wearing slippers and can’t pick up her feet when she walks, so all I hear is “voot, voot, voot, voot, voot, voot…” as she shuffles around the kitchen. Yeah, I’ll be in the bathroom a LONG time today.

excited to see the clones vs some actual opponents.

There are some good black Friday deals on noise cancelling headphones.

UNC -15 against Portland. Seems low FWIW. Perhaps with good reason.

 

[Clonehomer]

Kansas blowing a 15 point lead is certainly making Thanksgiving more fun.

 

[Big_Sill]

Do we have a line yet?

This is one of those days when my selective listening skills are in full gear.

Wild ending to KU/Wisconsin game by a crazy tip in. I hate KU, but I had to swallow hard and root for them to beat a Big 10 team.

But then the ending........................
