    Baylor's weird home-road splits

    After its home loss to Kansas Tuesday, Baylor is 4-4 at home and 5-2 on the road in conference play. Assuming they win on the road against TCU, they will be guaranteed to finish with more road wins than home wins, something that has to be extremely rare in the history of the Big 12 or Big 8. I...

    McKay's lack of fouls

    Iowa State leads the country in fewest fouls per game at just 14.1. Jameel McKay deserves most of the credit for this since in the last nine games, he has only committed seven fouls for an average of 0.78 fouls per game (!), and has only one had game in which he has committed more than one (two...

    Nader's threes

    Any clue as to why Nader still has the green light from beyond the arc? The writing is on the wall. Shooting threes is not his game. He does a number of things well, but hitting shots from the outside is not one of them. Is Fred telling him to stop this and he's not listening or does he have...

    Still doubling the post?

    I took it for granted we would stop doubling the post once McKay was on the floor, but that wasn't the case in the Drake game. In retrospect, it was a good strategy since we forced Drake's big man Jacob Enevold to turn the ball over six times, and we did not give up a single three-pointer all...

    Review "Melvin Ejim: Cyclone Legend"

    Cyclones.tv has produced a 30-minute documentary on Melvin Ejim's four-year career at Iowa State. The documentary focuses heavily on Ejim's senior season when he broke the league's record for most points in a league game, was named Big XII player of the year, and earned first-team academic...

    Who's HOT and who's NOT from three

    We’re going to have to make threes against Baylor since they have a significant size advantage against us on the interior. I like our chances of doing that, considering how well we’ve been shooting the ball lately. I, for one, was shocked to see that late in the conference season Iowa...

    Rank the best wins of the regular season

    Now that the regular season is in the books, and since we have time to kill until Thursday, I’m curious to know how you Cyclone Fanatics rate our best wins of the year. Here are my top five, starting with the greatest: 1) @ Oklahoma State: We break the 18-game losing streak in Stillwater...

    Lucious' shot clock management

    As I rewatched the end of the West Virginia game, I noticed that even though WVU came back from an 18 point deficit in the final 9 minutes (they scored 29 points in that span), our offensive effort was not terrible, with a notable exception: The possession that had me most worried was our...

    Favorite moment against the Jayhawks?

    Kansas has one of the most storied dynasties in college basketball. They've been nearly unbeatable in the past decade, especially at home, where it's common for them to go undefeated over the course of a year. I was looking back at Iowa State's games against Kansas over the past 15-20 years...

    Why not play Clyburn at forward?

    We've got some time to kill before the next game, so here's a mental exercise to keep you busy: Will Clyburn is a good basketball player as evidenced by the fact he is our leading scorer. However, those who have watched him through these first 12 games have seen somebody who "checks out" of...

    The charge calls

    I counted four charging calls against ISU in the Drake game, plus another offensive foul against McGee for hooking. Percy alone got two charge calls. I don't remember his first but his second looked like a flop. Niang's charge was too far under the basket and it was to a secondary defender...
