*** Official Cincinnati vs #12 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

[ClonerJams]

No. Mid afternoon.

Hampton was late at night. ******* Boise

I'm a big fan of DJ. Seems like a gentle giant and when he plays pissed off he can be a force. I'd say the last two games and KU at Hilton he seemed to be in that mode.

I like here how he basically says it's a revenge type of thing but doesn't take anything away from BYU; they're a physical team and it's up to ISU to match their intensity.

Kelderman playing is validation for him from the coaches & overall team. Seem to recall he showed up quite a bit as a winner during off season scrimmages & workouts, so he must still be improving & showing it in practice in season, hence the trust & opportunity given him by the staff. The fact he's playing is not an indictment of Nojus, who I think has the ability & skills to be an excellent D1 player. Quit seeking immediate gratification for someone else because of their recruiting ranking, etc. Real life doesn't work like some dynasty mode on a gaming console.

@cyclones500 we've got one for sportsball post of the year.

We may have some backcourt problems with injuries but our frontcourt is ready to roll this March.

RIP to one of the GOATS

After reading the last several pages, I thought this referred to Nojus.

What a great interview. It's good that he's very aware of the Hilton games.

You have 2013 and 2019 reversed. Both brutal losses that I don’t blame you for blocking from memory.

Actually, I'm not confusing the two. I know '19 was late-night, it's my memory being hazy about '13. And from most evidence I've seen here, 2013 game tipped earlier than I recall (i.e., I'm probably incorrect).

Part of me wants them to pick up a win over BYU but also would rather get healthy for tourney.

I really want to beat BYU. After that if we lose to Houston so be it. BYU must be destroyed!

A loss wouldn't be a big deal, but I think two wins in the Big 12 would be a very successful week.

Yeah it’s not so much a loss being a big deal, it’s just I really dislike BYU

I just don’t want to see byu win the big 12 tournament. So let’s eliminate them ourselves.

Love our current projection on ESPN. Think we dominate this sub bracket. Only team to worry about is N Colorado.

I’d take that matchup alllllll day especially if tamin and Keshon are even remotely healthy…

Here’s something we can agree on, for sure!

[bosco]

Kelderman, who can't stay in front of a power conference guard on defense and is dribble handoff machine on offense, is getting playing time over him. In ******* March. If that is not a terrible indication of what this staff thinks of Nojus then I don't know what is.

Nope.

 

[bosco]

it was a good win but we benefited from a Cincy team that was exhausted, hence the burst at the end that made the game look less close than it really was. Turnovers remained a huge issue. Against BYU we will lose if we have that many.

Never underestimate a cornered raccoon.

Any raccoon if we're being honest.

 

[Pizzapitter]

I don't recall seeing DJ interviewed previously (my bad).
Like the majority of clones (no matter the sport), classy and well spoken. I LOVE this about our program!

My recollection matches yours re: ISU-Ohio State 2013. I trust @theshadow on this, but I could swear it was in at least second-to-last tip window of the day. (I am not a reliable source when it comes to memory for that).

The 2013 game was the Sunday early round of 32 game (IIRC) in Dayton. We lost 78-75 on a last second 3 by Craft. I remember it well. My dad passed that day at age 81 during the game when we were at the hospital.
