Started the official gameday with @JacksonLPence and others watching MBB at a bar in Aggieville. Let’s go Cyclones!

Please bball gods, don’t let ISU lose this game. Hopefully continue this hot streak.

Seems like KSU is in shambles and our favorite buffoon coach sans Fran McCaffrey is hanging by his last few strings. You would think, nay, expect a comfortable win for the good guys. All things considered, I expect to get their best shot.

Just play well and we got this.

Thanks Rulzzz!!
Tang is a pain in the a**.
He's also a floor sweeper and bad crowd dancer on occasion.
This afternoon, he'll also be an inspector on the lookout for illegal recordings of his huddles...
What he hasn't been very good at this year is coaching...his ACTUAL job.

ISU should win this if they continue to play like they have been...(the 2nd half at OSU not withstanding.)

Imo they're due and ISU is due to come back to earth a bit on hitting at such a high first half clip etc.

This one would be in the 'any kind of win is great' camp.

This game makes me nervous on the road. I have PTSD from last season. Hoping we can just get out of there with a win.

80-72 Cyclones

Need to jump on K State early. I imagine they are a fragile bunch.

This is going to be one of those were the hunted game and Kansas state desperately needs any sort of win. Hope we can come out focused, don’t want to let Kstate hang around
