    Correct. During OU’s down years.

    Northwestern athletics issues

    The Wildcats opened the ‘96 season at Soldier Field against Oklahoma and the crowd was sparse. This after all the hype and momentum coming off the 95 Rose Bowl team with a lot of guys back. I was in grad school at NW at the time and went to a lot of games. Soldier is way too big for NW.

    Jelani Hamilton enters portal

    Interesting take and it might be right. The better P6 programs may take one high level HS kid and get the rest from the portal. NC State is in the elite 8 and every guy in their rotation started their career at a different school. Their star, Horne, played at 2 previous schools.

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

    Right about now we’re about to be possessed of the sound zone, MC Rob Jones and JT Easy Rock….Hit it! Too bad they will never get to play together

    Valley WR Zay Robinson Commits

    Zay was a Greenwood and Callanan kid before he transferred to Valley. My son’s grade school archrival. Good kid. Serious hops, he dunks everything in basketball and will be a player for the Clones. Most kids were Hawk fans at school but like my son Zay always rooted for the Clones.

    Momcilovic to lottery pick

    Milan reminds me of Johnny Furphy at KU. Announcers were talking about him being a potential 1st round pick. Furphy is more athletic but doesn’t have the Dirk step back game like Milan. If I’m an NBA GM there’s no way I’m investing a first round pick in either one of these guys this year. They...

    Illinois matchup

    Illinois scares me because they have 3 guys who can score in bunches from outside, attacking the basket and in transition — Shannon, Domask, and Hawkins. Then they have a big banger in the middle in Dainja. I hope we can limit them to half court offense and frustrate them with our pressure. I...

    Washington st forum

    That’s the result of starting 4 guys 6-8 or taller and not having many ballhandlers. We will get into them and make it hard for them to move the ball in the half court. And we have plenty of length ourselves. I like this matchup a lot.

    In NYC, where to watch the SDSU game Thur night?

    I’m in NYC all week for work. Does anyone know if there is a Cyclone Club here or an informal group that watches the games at a particular location?

    DK’s ISU promo

    BYU can beat Illinois and they were tough for us twice. I don’t want to play then a 3rd time.

    *** Official #7 IOWA STATE vs #1 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    In those games along with the bad shots are bad decisions driving into traffic and turning the ball over. When we limit our turnovers we are really tough to beat.

    Bracketology 2024

    And look for Purdue to get bounced before the Elite 8. Although I think Big Rob would bang with Edey and Ward’s length would challenge him. Plus we would pressure the **** out of their guards like they haven’t seen. We would make it hard to throw that entry pass.

    Bigs for next year?

    TJ is a rare bird. He demands a tough, disciplined approach to everything they do and he does it without being an *******. He is also very poised. He’s Tom Izzo without all the sideline histrionics. And those traits appear on the court with his teams. They were an undermanned team that went into...

    Lipsey

    I think Solomon Young also played his whole career at ISU. He was a freshman when Naz, Monte and Matt were seniors.

    ***2023-24 Mens College Basketball Thread***

    People forget that Drake had a 10 point lead with 5 minutes left against a Miami team that made the Final Four. This Drake team would push a 5 seed again for sure.

    BYU tipoff changed to 8PM

    Against a team like BYU who can handle the ball and has multiple good 3 point shooters I’d like to see us play more straight up defense rather than extending with pressure and trapping like we do. This is the type of team, as seen in the first game, who can spread us out and kill us with open...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    I replied to a post. Threads often wander, that’s how message boards work. If you are sensitive to criticism about U of I athletics and its fans then it would be better for you not to hang out on Cyclone message boards. The obsession isn’t with Cyclone fans, it’s with the many Hawk fans who hang...

    Been watching non Big 12 basketball lately...

    This is giving too much credit to Iowa’s offense. If you pressure Sandfort and Dix on the perimeter and play physical with Krikke and Freeman inside then you more or less neuter their offense. You just don’t see physical and athletic pressure defenses in the B1G like you do in the Big 12. Btw...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    I can confirm that. I took my wife and 10 year old son to the ISU at Iowa game in Dec 2016 when Monte, Naz, Thomas and that crew got upset. Walking out of Carver some douche bag Hawk fan in probably his early 30s just started yelling all kinds of **** right in my face….”take that Cyclone...
