A few weeks ago, I mentioned the toughest stretch of games was starting with Texas Tech and Ending with Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse. 5-3 over that stretch was a W in my book I thought we’d go 6-2 ….we are currently 3-1. If we can go 3-1 over the next four, I’ll give up my last testicle. But 2-2 is still a W.

After Kansas I honestly think we finish out the remaining games 8-1 with a loss at Houston.

Worst case 15-5 or 16-4 tied for second in Big12 and a lock 2 fringe 1 seed. Go 3-1 over the next 4. Likely 17-3 regular season champions and a lock 1 seed. Big stretch of Ball right here.
It's set up pretty nicely. If Houston beats us out, they earned it. Gotta tip your cap. Why?

ISU is currently 5-2 in quad 1 games
Houston is currently 0-3 in quad 1 games

BUT w/ 13 games remaining...

ISU has:
5 games in Q1
5 games in Q2
3 games in Q3

UH has:
10 GAMES in Q1
1 game in Q2
2 games in Q3

Not an easy road for the Coogs.

Why don't you like them? To me it makes a lot of sense for long distance games.
I just don't think its necessary. We don't do it for the old big 12 teams, it's only games that involve the PAC 12 teams. Playing on the road is tough, playing in that later time zone is tough, late tipoffs are tough, playing two games in 3 days is tough, being on the road for extra days is tough, it just feels like a combo of a lot of things that contribute to a team not playing well. I get why they are doing it, I just don't like it.

We're worried about revenue/money and its not a small cost savings to do the trips in one shot. Our guys can handle it.

Where is everyone staying in Tucson? Seeing area might be sketchy around campus, but not sure how true that is.

Crazy they can’t sell out against the #3 team. Hopefully enough cyclone fans help them sell out.
