Nice win! This team is limited talent wise offensively, and very frustrating to watch a lot of the time on that end, but fun to watch overall because of the constant hustle. Defensively I love the way they play. Going to be fun watching this team grow as the season plays on. Tonight was a huge win. Conditt is easily the best big man and needs to be starting.

Agreed, although I think our offense gets better once Jackson and Grill get more comfortable with increased experience. Nixon may not shoot for a better percentage, but I'd bet those two do.

If this team gets 9 conference wins, it means that the conference is WAY DOWN this year. Everyone needs to take the rose-colored glasses off, it's a rebuilding year. NIT or bust.

You need to pull your head out of your ass. This is a decent but different team than we are used to.

Another ******* coward fan - beat the 16th ranked team by double digits and pissing in everyone's cheerios just for the hope they can say I told you so later on.

Go back and root for what ever community college you were excited about before starting to post on here again.

The offense was hard to watch for long stretches, especially in the first half. But, the Cyclones do have the makings of a competent offense between the high pick and roll w/Conditt, Rasir Bolton running downhill to the rim (BTW: he had 17 pts to night and 8/10 on FTs) and Hali doing Hali things. If the other guys getting regular minutes can just find a role and not be bad (plus hit just a few more 3's), this team could be interesting offensively.

I would have never imagined we would score this much after that first half.
Totally agree. Our point total about midway thru the 1st half had me thinking we'd be lucky to score 40. Hopefully we play that well defensively against the Hoks & shoot like we did against 'Bama.

With our shooting issues persisting this team will have to win ugly. Tonight was a good example of that.

For as much as that 1st 12 minutes to start the game was excruciating to watch (offensively), that has to be one of the best defensive performances I have seen from an ISU team since the Fizer-Tinsley (et al) days! Nixon drives me crazy with his offense - but, man, HE CAN DEFEND!!! I even thought Grill and Jackson looked great defensively. Really need those guys to step up offensively!

Props to Nixon for his defense on Miles Powell. While Powell did have 19 pts tonight, it was on a very inefficient 7/20 shooting night. Combine that w/the Clones surprisingly good defensive rebounding performance, there's not much oxygen left in the room for the rest of SH's scorers and that's the ball game.

Hopefully this sets the course for the rest of the season. So far it hasn't been easy for the home team.
