[NorthCyd]

Grady **** just got leveled. Today, may not be able to get better....

ISU Fan: "Iowa State men beat #1 team in the country, ISU women bury MSU, and Iowa football loses! Nothing can bring me down this weekend!"

Let's admit one thing. They are not the best team in the country. They have a bunch of players, but they aren't a team yet.

That's not ISU's problem.

Cannot be understated how important Holmes was in the last 5 minutes as well

 

[cincinnaticyclone]

That was great. Happy for Caleb Grill. He’s probably the biggest TJ believer in the world and today he got rewarded for it

 

[CentexCyclone]

I'm still trying to process what happened the last 4 minutes. Cyclones down 7 points before ripping off a 17-5 run. Somehow, Cyclones' defense force UNC into 4 TOs, 3 fouls, 1-4 on FG attempts. Grill's heroics were amazing, but the extra burst of defensive intensity, after a long and taxing game, really seemed to win the day.

He kept us in it and gave us a chance. Hit some huge shots when we really needed them

Came into this game hoping we'd lose a competitive game. Now our defense has put the nation on notice that we will fight for every loose ball and make it tough to score every possession. Crazy to think what this team could be had Green transfered in and not entered the draft.

And we’re also missing our original starting PG for the year due to injury.

Nothing like making ol’ Roy watch as Iowa State beats one of his teams. Glorious!

F Huckleberry Hound - almost one of the best things about this win. Glad we could beat UNC with him watching.

Nothing (today) could be finer than beating Carolina.

Love the intensity... showing last year's intensity wasn't a fluke!

 

[cyclones500]

So between bb and fb this makes 4 straight days of game threads. I think that may tie or break the record for consecutive threads lol

I thought about that earlier today, wondered if you've ever needed to do 4 straight.

 

[oldman]

And I do hope that KU gets their azzas kicked. Always liked Rick Barnes anyway,

 

[CentexCyclone]

That wasn't the lafester game, but it wasn't far off

I approve this Cyclone nostalgia

 

[907CY]

TJ is starting out just like last season. We had better be rated the next time they come out.

 

[BWRhasnoAC]

And we’re also missing our original starting PG for the year due to injury.

Who is like 6'5'' I believe. Jeesh this team would have been legit with those two.

 

[oldman]

Now let's go WOMEN!!

 

[CycloneErik]

SHUT UP WITH YOUR FACTS AND LET US HAVE THIS!!!

Well, they aren't the best team in the country because we are.

 

[interrobang]

Jumped a bit in defense and now in top 100 for offense! 42 overall on Kenpom.

I've got stuff to do. I might have tomorrow's game on in the background, but that's about it.
It's basketball season.
