    Tyrese Haliburton goes for Gold

    I feel like last summer's World Cup illustrated this well. Even though Brunson was pretty dominant as an individual, the US seemed to play better as a team with Haliburton running the show.

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    I think Freshmen were forced to play on a separate team back then, weren't they? I was thinking more just a place for the last five guys on your bench and any red shirting guys to get some PT. It seems like it would be good for the players and fun for die-hard fans to watch guys like JT Rock...

    Omaha enters the transfer portal (confirmed)

    Back to Omaha, this probably sounds weird, but I wish schools had JV or freshman basketball teams. It's just frustrating that the only options are to play young guys in games against the highest level of competition or not play them at all. It would have been interesting to see if Omaha could...

    Eligibility

    Is there a reason Paveltzke disappears after this year or is that just an error?

    Unofficial Big 12 Strength of Schedule

    It's wild to think West Virginia had a reasonable shot at finishing tied for first in the conference. They lost to Houston on a hail mary, then they blew a 4th quarter lead against Okie State. It reminds me of a few ISU teams back in the day that were set up with a schedule to win the Big XII...

    COLUMN: A massive analysis on the MBB roster following opener

    Does this seem like an accurate take on where we'll end up in conference play? Big minutes: Lipsey Gilbert Momcilovic King Will get time: C Jones Ward R Jones Billiew Watson? End of bench/don't play if it's close: Pav Fish Walk-Ons The good news is all those middle-group guys are solid and...

    Running out of Bounds

    Good point that I always forget about. Also I think football would be more fun if everyone was an eligible receiver.

    Running out of Bounds

    I might be in the minority, but I actually hope we keep coaching our guys to do this. If you've got an angle to the sideline that's often the most yardage you're going to get, and you avoid getting hit. Keeping Jaylin Noel on the field for 12 games is way more important than getting a couple...

    Will the Cyclones win 3 of their next 4?

    I believe we have the talent to compete with every team but Texas down the stretch. We seem to be figuring some things out on offense, and I trust Heacock to fix what's wrong with the defense. With such a young team, it feels like a lot of it will be mental. Go 2-0 before the bye week and we...

    One third through the season

    I predicted 3-1 at this point. I never expect us to play well against Iowa, but I didn't expect the struggles with Ohio. The key going forward is to move one or two of the things on your list up a level. Do that and this team can at least go .500. Biggest candidates to me are D-Line and running...

    Time for Sanders to be the featured back

    Can any of the RBs get used more as a kick/punt returner? Now that Noel is the focal point of our passing game, I'm terrified he's going to get hurt on special teams.

    Who leads the team in rushing this year

    As someone who hasn't followed much roster discussion this summer, do we have anyone who will play "fullback" this year in the style of Jared Rus? (who was always listed as a TE I think)

    Iowa State an Early 9 Seed In Tournament Prediction

    Has there been any announcement about what the schedule will look like this year with 14 teams? I assume we'll play some opponents only once. It would be nice for our W/L record to avoid playing at Houston, for example, but it might mean fewer chances for Q1 wins this season.

    Caleb Grill has entered the portal and committed to Mizzou

    Also, there is a lot to life besides basketball. A "new environment" might not be about the game at all, but getting away from friends, a partner, a living situation, academic stresses, or any number of things that were making life difficult for him in Ames.

    Way too early starting lineup talk for the 23-24 season

    I don't know Omaha and Milan, but I don't think either of them chose to come here because they'd be guaranteed starters' minutes. That doesn't seem like something TJ would promise. If they just want to be showcased, then they should transfer or go to the G League and make more money.
