Can we take a moment to appreciate our two senior bigs. Not long ago they were:
A) one guy we didn't want playing.
B) one guy who literally didn't play.
Now, I feel like they are the heart & soul, the identity, and the key to this team. arguably our biggest strength, certainly most dependable and consistent.
I feel as confident they will do their job and set the tone as maybe any pair of Cyclones in our history. You can't possibly overstate how far they have come and how good they have been all year.

I keep saying it but the top 4-5 are good teams, capable of beating all sorts of other teams.
After that it would be surprising to see lots of other teams compete...which is why they're not playing today or tomorrow.
It's still early, but it's becoming apparent to me that Illinois does not want Morehead.
No, I just think Morehead State is just the better coached more disciplined team on both sides of the ball. Illinois only has a potent offense with some NBA players defense is optional.
Illinois had to come back from double digits all three of their big 10 tournament games. Bad habits yield bad results in the long run.
Does Morehead accept transfers from Oral Roberts? The portal is open.
Too far back to look but for those who said Mississippi State had never done anything...
They got to the Final Four.
I had to look it up. 1996. I specifically remember because there was some kind of ceremony thing at some point. Each coach was handed a cap with their school logo on it. Their coach was handed an Ol Miss hat instead of Miss State. I figured if we ever made it that far some know-nothing idiot would hand our coach a Fred Flintstone dirt and piss hat.

It’s the tourny, anyone can beat anyone. But yeah the big ten is really really bad this year. Purdue can win with the right matchups but if every other team didn’t make it out of the first weekend no one should be suprised
But the overall performance of a conference's teams in the post-season validates the strength of the conference. K-State and BYU haven't got us started out very well, but there are lots of games to be played.
They are settling for wild shots right now. Illinois is too quick on FB to do that kind of stuff.
Yeah, if Illinois keeps draining threes like this it’ll be tough. Morehead needs to be better in transition
It doesn’t validate anything because the season isn’t a one and done national tournament played on neutral courts. The only thing it validates is the people that can’t separate the two are dumb.
I think soccer fans get this better than anyone else. A PL team losing to a Championship club in the FA Cup doesn’t validate the strength of the Championship.
