Exactly. I wrote this earlier in the thread before the game. You could tell during the pregame that CBS just does it way better than ESPN. Even on CBSSN, just high quality and no favoritism, just straight up excellent college basketball coverage. All you need to do is look at who CBS puts in the studio vs ESPN. CBS puts in a good balance of folks who straight up know the game of basketball. ESPN just puts in blue blood graduates who create controversy and pump up the big brands.

This team has the rare quality where someone is always stepping up their play to cover for someone else’s off night. The team chemistry is awesome. Championship teams are made like this.
If Jackson getting 8 points 6 boards and assist and a steal with only 2 fouls is a complete disaster of a game we’re going to be just fine.
I think his one bad turnover when up 12 that ultimately lead to their big run was boneheaded (no need to out ball on floor there as a big).
Otherwise he was fine and Chatfield played his ass off so TJ kept rolling with him.
Beauty of the team this year. Not great games from anyone but managed to pull out a 10 point win on the road.
Even after that run you knew their shooting would cool off (they went 0-6 from three after going 4/5 early in second) and we’d close it out.

Agree...we better understand that as fans that ISU is getting everyone's best shot...every game. The team knows that. I hope our fans know how tough the road is to be the hunted...not the hunter. Road wins are golden! And we just got one where I'm sure other teams may not.
And he seemed excited as **** to congratulate Chatfield when he came to the bench.
Jakimovski was sick tonight? Did they mention that on the tv broadcast?
Jackson was fine, and he's only going to get better. point is, he can take it to another level which is really exciting.
Who knows. I have a Czech name that no one pronounces correctly including my own family. Every now and then someone who knows the correct pronunciation says it that way and I just roll with it. Maybe Martin didn't really care how people pronounce it.
It is hard to imagine anybody has had as good back-to-back transfer classes as ISU.
It's an addition to their home court advantage, but it is not insurmountable. One can easily see which team has the better & stronger athletes, but basketball nor any sport is 100% decided on that alone. Our depth was a huge advantage in this game, which allowed for more recovery & getting acclimated to the elevation. I've watched ISU hoops for over 45 years and many teams went to Boulder and experienced losses while not looking good in the process.
Agree. His first conference road game at altitude. People being too hard on him tonight
Yep... you trash the team incorrectly, then run off when called out. Sounds about right.
Lol..easy for the guys who are wrong to say this. Its funny that I'm calling out somebody else for their dumb takes... and you feel implicated.
Almost like you know how bad your takes are?
I once sprinted from gate to gate at DEN. I was in marathon running shape. I thought I was going to die.
Didn't make it in time, had to stay the night and catch a flight in the morning.
This week:
Bowl win kind of out of nowhere.
I'm in eastern Iowa and could hear Hok fans crying through the fog today.
Then a road win in a place that's been terrible for ISU.
The rest of the week is bowl games and BU Saturday.

I was a but nervous that it was a curse, rulezzz!!I didn't jinx us with the late gameday thread start. Although without deep research I feel like our winning % is quite high in those games.
Not even available here as an upgrade.
Edit: I'll have to do some more checking, but the offerings sheet they provided when the condo switched over a couple years ago doesn't list it anywhere and I scrolled the whole guide and didn't see it, even on unavailable channels.
