    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    Yeah but those guys were before the NIL Era so there's an asterisk to their "loyalty". Chances are that at least a few of them would have jumped to another school for the bigger paycheck as well, that's just the way it is for the majority of these athletes. If one of the current Cyclones breaks...

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    Lipsey is on another level, he's arguably the greatest Cyclone of all time or at least the most beloved. That doesn't that Milan won't be remembered as a Cyclone unless you're talking in terms of lifetime Cyclone but that's such rarefied air.

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    But he would have played most of his college career as a Cyclone and as arguably their best shooter ever on teams that advanced in the tournament. I'd be shocked if he's forgotten over time.

    Milan Momcilovic withdraws from the 2026 NBA Draft

    I can't agree with this at all, he's arguably the best 3 point shooter in Iowa State history and was part of two Sweet 16 teams a big part of the second one. He played 3 seasons at Iowa State, it's not like he was a one and done here. I think this is just some folks being bitter saying stuff...

    Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

    As a Pistons fan I would not be happy with taking him at 21, I feel like there will be higher upside players available at that spot. You could find 3 point specialists very easily in the NBA. Duncan Robinson as you mentioned, Malik Beasley last year, Tim Hardaway Jr. last year and they drafted...

    Sorry yes, it was 49% which is indeed unreal. I still don't think he'll be a 1st round pick though.

    Milan Momcilovic tweets "entering NBA draft and portal"

    Little coverage in terms of getting drafted higher or in terms of evaluating his season as a whole? If it's the former, it's easy to see why. He lacks any sort of athleticism so you're essentially getting a 3 point specialist at the NBA level, a Kyle Korver at best, which is a good player to...

    Donovan Davis announced on May 6th that he committed to the Cyclones!!!

    This offseason has gone as well as can be expected outside of Milan moving on. T.J. getting every single one of the key guys he brought in for visits and the T.J. extension. This is now a top basketball program, maybe not elite but very high second tier which is great for Iowa State. This is a...

    TJ signs 10 year extension

    Fantastic news, to state the obvious, and Iowa State with the big boy spending to retain him. Love it

    NCAA Tournament Expands to 76 teams

    I guess I'm less bothered by this than most people. As a college basketball fan and March Madness junkie, more games is better and the traditional 64 teams starting on Thursday stays intact so I'm good with it. I can see an argument for it cheapening the regular season a bit for teams on the...

    Ryan Prather Jr. has committed to Iowa State!

    Singleton, Bond (I believe) and Manning are forwards. I'm pretty sure that Singleton and Buchanan will be starters so that's two forwards.

    He'll likely get offered more money elsewhere, can't blame him really. Time to move on. I just hope he stays in the draft rather than seeing him splash threes like crazy with another college team.

    Disappointed but we'll be alright. Milan has been a great Cyclone but maybe this will be a blessing for both sides. The positive I see from this is that maybe we can get more athletic up front now but obviously the dynamic shooting will be sorely missed. Bittersweet is the word that comes to mind.

    Iowa State earns a commitment from Northwestern transfer Tre Singleton

    This is a big one. Man, when T.J. wants his guy he gets his guy. So to review, we've got Toure, Batemon, Pleta and Buchanan back and now Singleton, Johnson, Bond and Manning? If we get Milan back, I think this is a top 10 team again next season. I'm pretty hyped.

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

    I've been out of the loop the last few days. Is it confirmed that Toure and Pleta are returning? I only knew about Batemon
