    Thanks. I really admire Coach Otzelberger and the way he coaches basketball. He's not just trying to make better basketball players, although he does that very well. He's trying, and succeeding admirably, at making better MEN of his players. That is what is really important! No one is going to...

    A LOT of teams could say the same thing. BYU is certainly one of them.

    Ecclesiastes 9:11: "The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong...but time and chance happen to them all." That's why they PLAY the games instead of just listening to the pundits. Luck ALWAYS plays a part, sometimes more, sometimes less, but it ALWAYS plays a part. ISU did a good...

    63 other teams will be thinking exactly the same thing, but most of them won't have the chances to win it that ISU will. Hang on to Coach Otzelberger. As long as he is at ISU, the Cyclones will be serious challengers in the Big XII.

    Your last sentence is Gospel truth. If you remember Herb Brooks' speech from 1980, I think Tamin Lipsey was born to be a Cyclone and coached by T.J. Otzelberger. You'd be VERY hard put to find a better or more congenial match of talents and attitude. Yes, Cyclone fans should be very grateful for...

    I disagree. I think he would have played if he could. At some point a healthy but less talented guy like Heise is better than a really talented guy like JJ who has a serious mobility and jumping limitation. Plus, he's already hurt. It's not right to ask him to to take a chance on making a bad...

    ISU did a good job staying this close. Buchanan was just overmatched on the boards without Jefferson. I'm actually amazed that your team beat Kentucky. It's just damned bad luck that you didn't have JJ because with him I think you might well have won this game tonight. That's just one of the...

    You guys won't have JJ, but I have faith in T.J., Tamin and the boys. You can DO it! Go Clones!

    What an absolutely crushing exchange for UK. ISU's defense just strangles opposing offenses.

    ISU has the best defense in the conference, with Houston being second. Defense wins championships, and no one coaches defense better than T.J. Otzelberger. I keep telling people out here he's the second coming of Bobby Knight, except he doesn't swear as much.

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

    I just commented on the BYU board that BYU's PG, Rob Wright, could learn a LOT from Lipsey's game. You wouldn't believe the grief I got for saying that. BYU fans just don't want to look at what is staring them in the face sometimes. I'd take Lipsey over Wright any day because Lipsey isn't just a...

    If someone came to me and said T.J. is the best basketball coach in America, I wouldn't argue the point.

    JJ is one heck of a ballplayer. It's hard for me to imagine a situation where ISU would be better without him.

    SG, I wish I had been selling them short. Unfortunately, I had a pretty good handle on them. Bad rebounding, not boxing out, too much iso ball, poor defense except in rare spurts, not playing as a team. I didn't think they would go far in either the Big XII tournament or the Dance, and I was...

    BYU fan here. I couldn't be happier than to see T.J. and the Cyclones win this game. Even better, they did it in typical Otzball fashion. Kentucky had no idea what hit them. I think I read that their 20 turnovers was the most turnovers in one game their program has ever had. I've been telling...

    You at ISU have been playing road games in the Big XII for a long time. BYU has only been doing it for a relatively short while, but this fan has learned not to take winning ANY Big XII road game for granted. ALL of these road venues are tough places to play where upsets happen regularly.

    BYU fan here. I have seen the elevation cause problems for teams from lower elevations that weren't in REALLY good shape. San Diego State was notorious for coming to Provo and playing like they couldn't breathe.

    Don't worry about the snark. I'm posting as a BYU fan on the ISU fan board after a loss. I really like ISU though because I have so much admiration for Coach Otzelberger, so I have no intention of being rude. As for the games Davis and Boscovic played last night, I think the coaches went to...
