    Cyclone Basketball Lineup Builder

    It looks to be completely AI-driven, rather than pulling from a roster + stats dataset. So it generally gets the right idea of players, especially more recent ones, but isn't necessarily giving 100% accurate info.

    CF After Dark Draft: Best Single game FB performances

    That was essentially his last game playing only on offense, at least. He didn't record any stats the next week against West Virginia. But his QB/LB season was the next year, in 2017. It's understandable that everyone remembers that Tech game as the Joel Lanning game. But Jacob Park was also...

    Cytown Update

    FWIW, I don't think Gemini was right on this, but that it may be an even better deal for ISU. Image below is from page 10 of the development agreement that the regents approved. The first payment to be made is the PILOT payment, which is money going back to the university specifically for...

    Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

    Under Otz, Iowa State plays great defense. But even then, I don't think a lot of fans realize how reliant it is on college athletes being unable to consistently make the right pass or the open shot. Not to mention adjustments: an NBA team that is a one-trick pony offensively or defensively is...

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I ride an e-bike for my daily commute as long as the weather is okay, and I really enjoy it. At my commute distance (2.5 miles one way, in Ames), it probably takes just a couple of minutes longer riding my bike vs. driving. I'm a fair-weather biker, so I stop in the winter. But overall, I've...

    TJ signs 10 year extension

    Searching for a few of those, here's what I found: Bill Self: Was $5 million, now $4 million (as of 4/1) (Source) Dan Hurley: $3 million (Source) Todd Golden: $2 million is for an NBA job, $11 million for a college job (Source) Scott Drew: Reportedly, $4.5 million (Source) Tommy Lloyd: $11...

    Cytown Update

    I think it makes sense to be wary about the timeline of the project and whether the project fits into current economic conditions. It's perfectly reasonable to have different perspectives on that. For me, I guess the partnership with ISU Research Park gives me a fair amount of confidence in the...

    Cytown Update

    I went back and found the original renderings (when it was just an idea being explored), and I'm honestly surprised at how much is similar. Obviously the orientation has changed, and they changed up the modified parking, but a lot of the concept is the same...

    **** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

    Tape is good, and I do think that Williams has potential (or at least had potential before injury). Unless you're watching full games, though, you're also just seeing the best of a player when you look at the highlight tapes. There definitely were shades of Curtis Jones in terms of play style...

    **** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

    One issue there is that it's not just a one-year comparison. A player who is able to stick in the NBA will get much larger 2nd and 3rd contracts, so getting to those a year earlier is beneficial. For Milan, I think it probably still makes sense to come back, but it's not necessarily a direct...

    Momcilovic declares for NBA draft

    I think a pushback on Milan's fit in the NBA is that there are quite a few recent examples of great shooters who are relatively poor athletes and haven't made a significant impact in the playoffs, due to the increased intensity/athleticism. I'm thinking of guys like Joe Harris, Luke Kennard...

    **** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

    The interesting thing there is that they rebound in very different ways. They had very similar overall rebounding rates, but Buchanan's came from rebounding about the same number of misses on the offensive end as he did the defensive, while Jefferson stood out on the defensive end. I think a lot...

    JJeff Injury Updates

    There's a lot going on with your post. But I feel like the bolded part here undermines any credibility the rest of it might have, because this stat is either lying, making things up, or just ridiculous hyperbole. Jefferson has averaged 2.5 turnovers per game this season, and 2.8 in conference...

    **** Official 2026 MBB Spring Transfer Portal Thread ****

    Certainly not ideal (if Pleta doesn't develop perimeter skills), but I'd push back against the idea that there's much of anything you "can't" do in college basketball: Florida starts 6'11" Alex Condon and 6'10" Rueben Chinyelu. Of those two, Condon is the "shooter" at 17% from three this season...

    2025-2026 MBB computer projections thread

    Also important to remember that a lot of those stats use end-of-season numbers (post-tournament). Numbers that are likely to improve for the champion, who probably had to play well against several top 20 teams to get there. If Iowa State were to win the national championship by beating...
