Glad we get to play at home again. Tennessee should be better but I still don't see them as a threat.

I remember watching them take it to Kentucky at home last year. They were really up-and-down from what I remember. Could be a scary year with another off season for them to get more mature.

After looking at what they having coming back. This would be a good win for ISU if they could pull it off. I expect Tennessee to win though.

 

[Rabbuk]

Ya I am worried, we lost a ton of scoring and experience.

This will be an entertaining game...I do like that it happens late in January as this seems to be the time period where the team really starts to come together. This is going to be especially true this year given the new additions.

 

[Cycsk]

Because this game comes in January (early in the Big 12 conference season), I think it will be one of the defining games for our team. If the team comes together and plays to its potential, this will be a great time to experience a early dose of Hilton Magic.

ISU vs. Tenn looks to be a real battle for the big men. Hopefully Brase, Lard, and Young are ready to rock Hilton with a little Magic.

Apparently they got bored with Kansas v. Kentucky.

Long time friend has an ISU undergrad and MS and Phd from Tenn - - -no worries he will be all Cyclones for this one.

KU and UK already are matched up in the Champions Classic this year so I'm sure they didn't want a repeat for the Big12/SEC

They threw those big goofs around like rag dolls.

Big 10 can't buy a break lately.

Saving up for the CFP.

That conference looks very weak right now.

No kidding. Lard, Solomon, Beverly, Brase, and Talley are going to have to bring the muscle and grit big time in our matchup.

Vols up 13 on #5 Villanova. They look legit. Could be a top 25 team that comes to Hilton.

UT now down by 12 -- 6 minutes left.

Just getting throttled in the second half.
