Let's go. Let's get this. Win out at home.

How long has it been since an ISU Big 12 basketball game was on cyclones.tv only?

Nobody wants a pity party, but under the circumstances with what our team is now dealing with....I would hope zero posters will come on here during/after the game tomorrow (regardless of outcome) and criticize the players or coaches. Is that too much to ask? Let's go out and support the guys we have left standing!

Gonna take any magic we can squeeze out of Hilton. Heartbroken for DJ.

 

[Cyinthenorth]

Might just listen to this one on the radio. Hurts to say it, but not sure I'm willing to pay the one day fee on cy.tv for this product.

I thought every game was supposed to be on ESPN. 7 tip is weird too.

I guess it's good Iowa St gets the television money for this game, but I think it's a joke that any conference game is on Cyclone TV.

This has been the way it's been set up for a few years now with the third-tier rights. If it wasn't set up this way, Texas wouldn't be happy. As much as it pains me to say, if Texas wasn't happy, we wouldn't be a P5 school right now.

Looking forward to it as always.

Let’s see if Prohm can get these guys to play as a team and if he goes small-ball. Move Long into the starting lineup and use Brase/Beverly as sparingly as possible. It’ll be disappointing if Long and Lewis don’t see 20+ minutes.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Big opportunity for Lewis and Long to get extra experience, which may not show apparent benefits tonight, but it will down the road!

 

[exCYtable]

Nothing to lose tonight. Hopefully the boys just go out and have fun and play inspired basketball and keep Brodziansky under 30 points.

 

[jbindm]

Not much to ask for other than to play hard and play for each other. Who knows, maybe someone gets a hot hand and they have a shot at the end.

It would be about the only thing I could complain about in the realm of coaching.

Let them dive in and find their footing and learn by doing.

I heard Joel might suit up

I agree mj4cy......Without the Horns this conference would crumble like a month old cookie in the wind.....I myself have nothing against the U of Taxass er Texas.....but I cannot stand their FanBase......they're like the hoks on steroids or meth........

Any word on Jackson? Of course, he should take all the time he needs.

 

[SCyclone]

Thanks Rulzzz!!! We appreciate your tireless efforts to get us all jacked up. Uncle Randy wrote in the DM Rag this morning that Lewis is looking forward to contributing. Also a quote from Lewis' dad (who is also a coach), who appreciates what is son is going through and wants him to trust the system. He'll be a big contributor down the road.

 

[allfourcy]

With our low numbers and no Solomon and questionable Brase....do you think we end up playing zone a lot to keep Lard on the floor? Not that you can't get fouls in a zone defense, too.

I get it. This is supposed to be a good thing that Iowa St gets to broadcast it, however I still don't like it. Texas wants some of their conference games on longhorn network, so they throw the rest of the league a bone once in awhile, by letting them broadcast a conference game once every couple years. But is Iowa St required to use Cyclone TV?

My issue is with Cyclone TV. I don't think it is quite good enough to handle exclusive rights to a conference game.
