    Thamel: The lean towards a 12-team playoff

    Not a fan of a system with "byes" as this only helps the top polled/rated teams ('Bama, OSU, etc.) get a week off and more time to prepare. Still like the 16 team field with the Power 5 Conference Championship games being part of the 1st round with 6 more at large teams playing in 3 other...

    George Conditt Improvement

    He’s done a nice job but you can only improve so much play 18 to 20 minutes and sharing 1 position with Young and NEVER being allowed to be on the court with him at the same time.

    Never a Plan B

    What are you talking about? Solo missed 6 shots while hitting almost 65% of his shots - the guard court missed 25 while hitting closer to 40% of their shots! Maybe look at a box score before your next post.

    Never a Plan B

    Amen! I've been saying this for 2 seasons. CSP has no idea how to play with 2 true bigs...I'm not saying go "all big" as some suggest, as you still have 3 guards, but at least you would have a 2nd big to help out. If for no other reason, to rebound our missed bricks form the outside. We have...

    INSIDER: Three grad transfers that Iowa State is targeting

    Article read, and he is a stud, but, it does not change my opinion that 3 little guards are going to save the day, especially when the best player is a 1 and done if we get him. I would have much rather gone after Bowen Born if we wanted this type of player. He will be a stud at UNI.

    INSIDER: Three grad transfers that Iowa State is targeting

    3 small guards that combined for ~30 pts per game, with most of those points in the Ivy League and against lesser competition....Praying these were randoms that CW was reporting on and not the top of the list....

    Terrence Lewis transferring

    So, you are happy with the combo's CSP put on the court last year? Pathetic. Neither has to be a great shooting perimeter - you can still play with 2 solid post defenders/shot blockers but your guards can't play "Look Out" defense like Nixon, Haliburton, Jackson and Bolton did all last year -...

    Terrence Lewis transferring

    And Steve has no intention of EVER letting Young and Conditt on the court at the same time. What a joke.

    Zion Griffin Transferring

    What does this say about our coaches ability to work with a kid with phenomenal credentials and ability for 2 years, and not help him improve on his game?

    Are we being to harsh

    It is perfectly fair. As an example in the last game vs WVU, the announcers praised Huggins for his coaching job this year - not having the normal, pressing guards that he's use to, and switching to a 2 Big line up to take advantage of his current teams strengths. Meanwhile, CSP keeps running...

    COLUMN: An analysis on the future of Iowa State basketball

    I agree, but, the bigs don't have to shoot from 21' to be effective. You can play Hi/Lo, or 2 guys on the blocks/baseline, and our guys are efficient from 15' and in. This doesn't even mention the value on the defensive end where you have another big to help the helper. Big teams like Baylor...
