    Way Too Early Top 25 roundup: Cyclones a consensus top 5 pick

    I said preseason last year and as it currently looks right now Kansas's roster has huge holes and are way overrated in the preseason polls. Going into last season they really had no proven scorers until Hunter Dickinson transferred late. Dajuan Harris is strictly a defensive player. McCullar...

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

    Where? Tamin, Keshon, Curt, and Milan were only averaging 30 mpg. You're not taking any minutes away from them unless the next man up is better

    Iowa State Transfer/Recruiting Class 2024

    With the amount of breaks in action, having a guard play 30 mpg is not a big ask. Sure seemed like Pav was ready and able to play 15-17 min but there was not 15-17 min available.

    Jackson Paveletzke enters the portal

    Tough to come off the bench every game knowing that's likely gonna be your only run. Seemed like every time he got a steal or loose ball. Would've loved to have him on previous teams when we weren't loaded at guard. Definitely has the capability to get 20+ min at a P5 school, and as a 40% 3 pt...

    Court Storming

    Bilas went on Pardon My Take and made a complete a** of himself talking about this. It's clear he has a biased opinion as a former Duke player, which is expected, but he fails to recognize. What he doesn't understand is the extra crowd they get for the Duke game don't normally pay attention to...

    *** Official #6 IOWA STATE vs #2 Houston Game(Day) Thread ***

    1st half officiating was terribly lopsided in Houston's favor. 2nd half was called fairly, the early foul discrepancy was probably cuz Houston thought they could continue getting away with murder.

    Dear Houston

    Agreed! All of Sharp's misses were halfway down, Shead is the best pg in the country and its not close

    Dear Houston

    Cryer is a bum. Can't hit the broad side of the barn on wide open 3s his teammates create for him. Always thought he got more credit than he was due for cherry-picking behind the 3 pt line

    Thanks for proving me wrong Big Rob

    Touche. He did have a nice alley-oop layup against TCU near start of 2nd half

    Thanks for proving me wrong Big Rob

    He does and always has moved extremely well for a big man. His prior issues were due to a lack of skill, not athleticism.

    Let's hear it for our 'centers'

    They did a great job of going straight up on contests in the first half

    What did Otz screw up this game

    Would've love to seen Pav get some more PT but don't know who to take minutes from. Having so much depth is a good problem to have I guess.

    Teams You'd Prefer to Avoid/Play in March

    Haven't seen any of their games but seems like Bama's been putting up around 100 pts/game frequently and chucks a lot of 3s. I think we want to avoid those teams who can get hot from 3... see BYU game.

    Any updates on Tyrese Hunter? Last I heard he was playing for Texas but don't recall seeing him last night

    *** Official #12 IOWA STATE vs #18 Baylor Game(Day) Thread ***

    I'll preface this by saying the camera angle was so bad it was tough to tell what was happening. Apart from Baylor shooting 50% on 3s, their offense was atrocious. For the first 30 min of the game they seemingly had every deflection fall into their lap under the basket or were just chucking up...

    Milan Momcilovic's last-second three one-tenth too late in loss to Baylor

    FYI to the posters who thought we'd get a better shot off the missed rebound... as the ref blew the whistle simultaneously Curtis Jones chucked a 3/4 court shot off the top of the backboard. We got a huge advantage getting to inbound near halfcourt. It was a great play call and execution, Milan...

    Are Free Throws really that hard to make?

    The exhaustion and adrenaline make it a lot more difficult to shoot FTs. I can shoot 70-80% in my driveway, but shot well below 50% in intramurals and played a lot more ball then. The environment is probably a bit tougher in B12 than intramurals also.

    Tang apology

    Tang seems like a sleazy used car salesman. It's a shame because I actually liked the KSU athletic program before this. I'd imagine they only put up with his douchiness for as long as winning lasts.

    Stop underutilizing Ward

    After non-conference, Osun was absolutely awful (he looked like he was struggling to move so maybe he was hurt), him losing PT was 100% warranted. A lot of people thought BRE was a bum just because he would do some goofy stuff a couple times a game. He's cleaned that up and got significantly...
