Looks like we’re on the road to DePaul

Looks like we’re on the road to DePaul

Chicago takeover, incoming!

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

Oooo I live within walking distance to Chinatown and the arena. Sounds like a hot pot pregame and cheering on the Cyclones kind of night!

 

[cyclones500]

Wonder if ISU-DePaul is a sort of "makeup" for the pandemic season cancellation. (Although that one was to be at Hilton).

 

[HFCS]

Hope it goes better than when I watched us play Duke at the UC.

 

[Drew0311]

Guessing we can get some Chicago recruits out to the game

 

[ISUCubswin]

Easy dub, DePaul is a hot steaming pile of trash.

 

[CoKane]

Ugh, DePaul. Only team who I have 0 interest in playing.

Texas and Oklahoma, especially Oklahoma, still being in this is kinda stupid. Also, how on earth did Cincy not get to take part?

 

[cyups2323]

Will we ever get another home game in these challenges?

 

[ISUTex]

Will we ever get another home game in these challenges?

Didn't we host St. John's this year?

 

[NATEizKING]

Will we ever get another home game in these challenges?

One of these decades

 

[IASTATE07]

Will we ever get another home game in these challenges?

21-22 Mizzou
22-23 St John's

 

[NENick]

Should've left Texas and Oklahoma out and given those games to Cincinnati and BYU.

Based on the above schedule, I'd guess that Houston-Xavier would be 6:00 FS1, followed by ISU-DePaul at 8:00.

 

[ISUcyclones11]

I don't hate the DePaul matchup. Not the biggest name but puts us in a nice recruiting area.

 

[NoCreativity]

Worst opponent possible, that will be a horrible loss on the resume or a win that won't do much for our tourney profile.

Echoing the Texas & OU sentiments here. Can anyone explain why the conference is still pandering to them? Good OOC match ups, vast majority of conference social media posts/attention. They have dirt on conference officials? Makes the conference look like a bunch of c**ks and I ain't talking roosters.

They are still members of the conference. As a manager, I expect Yormark wants them to go away feeling good - not soiled-on - by the B12. I certainly would. This isn't about bravado. It's about ethics in many ways. Doing the right thing even when it hurts in the short term.

This is a network decision, not a conference one. They want eyeballs.
