    Let's Talk Kentucky

    Time to turn the page... Oweh is the straw that stirs the drink. The matchup between him and Toure will be great. Aberdeen is a nice combo guard. I suspect Lipsey gets that assignment. Chandler is their shooter. He and Momcilovic are sure to follow each other around the court. Garrison is...

    JJeff Injury Updates

    Post updates here. You hope and pray just a sprained ankle. Hope the guys can circle the wagons and pull off a win on Sunday vs. Kentucky and get JJeff back in some capacity in the Sweet 16.

    Build Your Region

    For discussion purposes, let's pencil in Iowa State as a 2 seed. Build your region from there. What teams do you want to avoid? What teams would you like to see in our bracket? Personally I'd love to see Gonzaga or Nebraska as the 3 seed in our region. Gonzaga plays in a soft conference...

    Higher Ceiling - 2024-2025 or 2025-2026?

    So pumped about this team and felt this would be a fun discussion. 2024-2025 - Had Gilbert and Lipsey entered March healthy I felt that was a team that could make a Final 4 and even win a national title. Curtis Jones is irreplaceable. With that said, it was clear Dishon Jackson wasn't an...

    Big 12 vs Big Ten Debate

    I was listening to Two Guys Named Chris on Iowa Everywhere earlier today and there was discussion regarding the Big 12 should only be a 1 bid team to the CFP because they did not fare well in week 1 games against other P4 conferences. Ok...so a bottom half of the league Cinci took Nebraska to...

    Curtis Jones is an All-American

    It is about time we start pushing this narrative. Heavily! Name 3 superior guards in college basketball right now. Go through the rosters and just try to make an argument for three better. Really really hard. Secondly, extremely early I know in conference play, but who are the leading...

    Teams You'd Prefer to Avoid/Play in March

    Avoid: Texas A&M. Taylor at guard is electric if he is on. They are a really experienced team. Would hate to see them in a second round #2/#7 type scenario. Dark horse Final 4 team for me. Kentucky: Tons of talent. Have seen them struggle all year only to turn it on come March. Clemson...

    Tristan Enaruna & Cam'Ron Fletcher

    I would love to see us fill those last two scholarships with these two stud forwards. CW mentioned them both by name in his most recent article so I'd imagine our staff is going after them both hard. Homerun type transfers I know. Why didn't they work out at Kansas and Kentucky respectively...

    Cyclones will be ranked preseason #5 or #6

    Tell me why I am wrong. They should finish ranked anywhere 7-9 this year and return 20 of 22 starters. Likely SIX preseason offensive first team all-conference players in Purdy, Hall, Hutchinson, Kolar, Newell and Downing (Schweiger could sneak in there). That is ridiculous! Likely FOUR...

    Sophomore Class Offense

    Purdy already starting to carve up some good defenses got me thinking about how good he could be as an upperclassmen. Six offensive starters from the current soph class: Purdy Lang Kolar Milton Downing (RS FR) Newell Need a couple of playmakers on the perimiter to emerge and some holes to be...

    Teams Youd Prefer to Avoid/See in NCAA Tournament

    We are nearing the end of the regular season here and all prognostications here have Iowa State as a 4 or 5 seed. I could potentially see us rise to a 3 seed if we get hot down the stretch and potentially fall to a 6 seed if we stumble. Put me in the camp of wanting to avoid Wisconsin in the...

    Kansas @ Kansas State

    Starting to think this is a 3 team race for Big 12 title. Who do we want to win the game Tueaday night? I personally think were pulling for these teams to split their head-to-head matchups. Even though KState is up a game think I'll be rooting for them Tuesday night as I dont see them winning...

    Big 12 POY

    Approaching the halfway point of the conference season who is the leader in clubhouse? I think it is a three man race at this point between Lawson, Shayok and Culver. You get the feeling the conference champion may also get POY.

    I know his announcement is being streamed. If anyone has the link can you post it here? Sorry in advance for all the haters upset for the new thread.

    Which Newcomer You Most Excited For?

    Malou, Jackson, Bowie or one of the freshman Young, Long or Lard? Hopefully we have an immediately eligible big on the way as well. I think we need one of the forwards (Malou or Bowie) to be special to have a better year.

    Matchup vs. Niang

    I think one of the keys for a long postseason run next week will be to avoid teams with an answer for Niang on the defensive end of the floor. The below guys come to mind are athletic enough on the perimeter and have enough length in the post. Who else do you want to avoid and/or what teams...

    Iowa is 2-8 vs. Big 12 (Last Ten)

    Enough said. They were literally run off the court in four of those losses. Twice by Iowa State and two more by middle tier Big 12 teams (that year) in Baylor and Texas. Pretty hilarious. When they lost to Texas last year they were convinced they were a Final Four team. Texas barely made...

    Matt Abdelmassih's Quotes

    Has anyone listened to the new podcast yet? I found these quotes pretty dang interesting. I can't help but think the coaching staff has a big surprise in store for us this transfer season. Matt: "For all the fans who like to throw around the idea of rebuilding...I'll say this...they should...
