    Let’s talk Jackrabbits

    If we're leading by 8 at half, our fans will be freaking out. Even if it's essentially on pace to cover the spread.

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

    Omaha is absolutely going to be electric. KC is a different beast with P&L right across the street, but ISU fans are going to swarm that city and arena.

    Welcome to the experience. It's been like that for years with no fix other than to do what you've done and hope for the best.

    They've been a bit of a media darling all year. I don't think anyone is going to be upset if they don't make it in. More along the lines of "shucks, I would've liked to have seen them in the tourney"

    Being able to run Jones, King, and Ward out there without a dropoff is huge. And our guards perimeter defense keeps them from getting into foul trouble. It's a really well constructed roster with 3 PGs as well in Lipsey, Gilbert and Jones.

    I'd say there is still some pain if he lands wrong or makes a hard cut. Standard sprain for anyone who's ever played basketball. And yes, a heavy tape job that's a little uncomfortable. Adrenaline can go a long way

    Yes. He was backing out of the lane during a free throw and turned his ankle. Then it looked like he tweaked it going up for a rebound or a dunk, I don't remember. Pretty standard for a mild sprain.

    So rival fans are mad/confused that our idea of a great time is to support our team and win? Such a weird line of argument. We love Iowa State. We love college basketball. Is that not cool enough for them?

    I was agreeing with him. I was indirectly responding to the post that he responded to.

    It isn't always pretty, but he's dominated college basketball for two years. He averages 24/12 on 62% shooting. He's really good.

    How is our fanbase so consistently ignorant to this? We can't be placed in a worse spot with a better seed. The only way that would've happened is if Kansas and Nebraska or someone else close to Omaha were both ahead of us on the seed line. It's not that complicated, but I still see people on...

    WBB: Cyclones versus Oklahoma Sooners at 1:30 p.m. ESPN2/ESPN+

    Oklahoma embarrassed us at Hilton. Maybe that was their best performance all year? We looked completely overmatched when it came to stopping their offense. That was in the midst of our midseason swoon, so hopefully that performance was an anomaly. It seems like Brown and Ryan have really picked...

    Big XII Tournament Virgin

    A lot of fans get there a day early. Consider it the unofficial pretournament opening ceremonies. It's definitely a highlight of the weekend as vibes are high and you usually run into a lot of people you know

    Tough day for EIU hoops hopes

    My Iowa friends haven't talked men's basketball all season. I have one friend who got excited last night only to see them lay an egg. It's back to the women's bracket for them

    Also requires that our ball dominant guards look for him and give it to him. Lipsey loves to dribble to the baseline and clog everything up when MM is trying to post up. Post entries and cutting (other than Watson) are weaknesses. Getting the ball to King and Jones on the block (not on the wing...

    ***2024 Big 12 Wrestling Championships (March 9-10)***

    Does Feldkamp have any traditional leg attacks, or is it strictly the upper body prayers every match? I don't know how he got AA last season.

    What does "hurting" mean though? I see two guards who struggle with decision making and lack offensive polish.

    The victimhood this fanbase projects on a regular basis is nauseating. I can barely look at ISU twitter because it's so embarrassing. Some of our fans whine more than Caitlin Clark.
