    ISU vs. Purdue

    I don't know really how to make one of these threads properly, however, the game starts at 4:30pm and is on ESPN3. I just really hope we can keep the momentum going that was built the second half of the season. There is one thing I am absolutely sure of, and that is we will not go down...

    Nader was amazing in the KU game.

    I thought Nader deserved a thread after the KU game. He played amazing defense, hit key shots, made important rebounds, and didn't get much press. His second half was also about the same as the first half. Abdul is an amazing athlete and obviously in tremendous condition. I think it...

    Season starts Thursday

    I am really fired up for this season, in both women's and men's, however they put up an article about the men's season starting on Friday on Cyclone.com, but have put nothing so far about the women playing on Thursday against Midwestern State in the exhibition. Can't wait to get this started!.

    Baylor and Wisconsin

    I am not one that gets to fired up supporting the Big 12, but this game is different. I am actually kind of liking Baylor, and this once I would like them to do well. I have liked some Baylor players over the year, and Jefferson and Austin are really a nice fellows. I start hating them...

    Monte Morris's pass

    I have been watching ISU basketball for many years, and it has been a long time since I saw a pass that amazing. I suppose someone should get that pass and post it on the forum. You don't see anything that brilliant too often.

    Selection Day

    I don't know about you, but I always get more hyped for the women's selection day than the men's. I think it is because the men's comes the day after the big 12 tourney, and I am still cooling down from that, and I kind of find out the results after the fact. This gets me primed for the...

    Doc Sadler

    I just thought I had better start this thread congratulating Doc on the work he has been doing on our defense. He made adjustment after adjustment, and lectured and taught that whole game, especially on stopping Heslip which we were having some trouble doing. He also figured out how to shut...

    Bench an issue for ISU women.

    It looks to me that again the bench is an issue for this team. We have Kidd and Fallon, and hopefully another of the size players will develop as the season goes on. I was hoping earlier in the year that our bench would be better this year, but Maddy went down, and I don't see the others...

    Thomas

    I just want to mention that I was extremely impressed with Thomas tonight. He had 6 huge rebounds, and had a nose for the ball all night. He broke down on defense a few times, but this team really has some great young talent, including Morris. Thomas though really impressed me with his...

    Kansas at ISU gameday thread.

    An extremely important game today, I heard coach say that even though we beat Kansas on the road, they have been an extremely good road team this year, and maybe even better on the road than at home, so we should beware. I am worried. I am going to try to get out of something so that I can...

    Upcoming game against Cincinnati

    Cincinnati looks like they could be a challenge, they have been beaten twice but by good teams. Florida St. one of them that has Bingley. When does she become eligible? She hasn't played so far this year, I checked. Back to Cincinnati, they are probably going to be wanting a win...

    Iowa State vs. Georgia gameday thread.

    The game will begin today at 8:50 pm in approximately 4 hours and 22 minutes. Television will be on ESPN 2 or 3 which I would recommend. It is possible that they won't switch it around so much tonight, depending on where you live. I am looking for a win, but I don't think it will be...

    Bad luck lost that game.

    This has probably been talked about already. Babb, spraining his ankle in a fluke, was probably the difference in the game. I watched the game carefully in the replay, and sure there were some bad calls, but I am the first to complain about bad refs, and these were not bad refs. All refs...

    I haven't been this keyed up.

    In a long time for an NCAA tourney. I told the guy down the street, sometimes I hope it would be over just so I could think straight again. Both these teams have shown they can be great, but also they have some games that they play inexplicably bad. They also can be remarkably good...

    Who doubts Bubu now?

    This is not a thread to criticize anyone, I just want to lift up Bubu's play in the last 5-6 minutes, or however long he played. I just think he was outstanding, totally under control, not trying to do anything that he couldn't, getting the ball to his teammates, rebounding. I just think the...

    Bill's interview

    I just watched Bill Fennelly's interview after the Baylor game, and the guy really made me proud. I like how he took blame for the loss, and stood up for his players. Great guy, great university, and Bill is a real credit to the University. I tried to watch the Baylor stuff, and couldn't...

    Oklahoma St. vs. Iowa State

    Game will start tonight, Monday, at 7:00 and Cyclone tv will carry the game. We got beat the previous game and played one of our poorest regular season games there, and now it is time for revenge. I am looking forward to watching the game. I think ISU is going to give a good performance...

    Feedback: Booker thread.

    That thread didn't seem to me to be bashing Booker. I know people are tired of Booker threads but what is the difference between that and the give more minutes or start McGee threads. Those are indirectly insulting to those people who McGee will take their minutes. And how many of those...

    I want another girl's basketball game.

    I feel cheated that the game got cancelled the other night. I had my cyclone.com all fired up, but nothing to fire it to. Now I am depressed. Make that game up soon, I understand the kids want to go home for Christmas. I have to goof up my Christmas every year because of my job. Do I...

    A building for volleyball.

    I thought I would do this. Seems like a debate that might gain steam. I would like to see it happen because it might help the volleyball team. The reason, I enjoy watching volleyball, but would prefer to threaten for a national title. I think we have a coach under the right circumstances...
