I'm past getting mad anymore, but if you really like to be mad then get mad at Iowa's #1 newspaper. The Des Moines Register has no story on Iowa State's thrashing of the #9 team in the nation.

Thought I would jump on to the world wide leader’s website for news but could find not a single headline on our astonishing gutting of a top ten team after basically winning zero games last two years. Found highlights buried down low somewhere. EF ESPN. Ill avoid them from now on.
ESPN is a national company. They will post stories they think will get clicks. Kansas losing is more interesting than Memphis. Iona, with a brand like Rick Pitino and the rareness of a team of that caliber beating a top ten team, is more notable. Yes, we care about beating a top 10 team and it is interesting regionally. If we keep winning, it becomes a story due to the turn around. Still a bit early for that. And would probably be posted on a day when there is less immediate news.
I think the Des Moines Register goes to press at around 7 p.m. ISU did not start until 8:30 p.m. Anything after the 7 p.m. on Friday's deadline will be reported on and analyzed in Sunday's paper. Also, I would guess that Randy Peterson was in Ames covering football and I do not know where Travis Hines was.I'm past getting mad anymore, but if you really like to be mad then get mad at Iowa's #1 newspaper.

And we wonder why newspapers are a dying industry.I think the Des Moines Register goes to press at around 7 p.m. ISU did not start until 8:30 p.m. Anything after the 7 p.m. on Friday's deadline will be reported on and analyzed in Sunday's paper.

Nobody reads that piece of crap anyway!I'm past getting mad anymore, but if you really like to be mad then get mad at Iowa's #1 newspaper. The Des Moines Register has no story on Iowa State's thrashing of the #9 team in the nation.
Surprised there wasn't more mention of them last night in the ISU game but they were busy humping the table over Memphis.
When I saw your first comment about this game not being reported by the Register, maybe not long after 9:00 AM, I went to their site and saw this article linked in the upper right corner of their homepage:And we wonder why newspapers are a dying industry.
... As flashy as the Cyclones’ start has been (especially relative to recent history), doesn’t there have to be some colorful backstory to match? Gotta be, right?
Wrong. In fact, Otzelberger says it’s pretty much the exact opposite.
“We’re kinda boring,” he said late Friday, following the 78-59 win over Penny Hardaway’s team full of high-profile players. “We do the same thing every day. We preached to our guys on a daily basis that their habits will carry them when we get to the game. We’ve got a group that committed to getting up early all summer. A group that every day comes to work with a great work ethic, a great attitude.
“But, yeah, we have a routine . . .

T.J. Otzelberger's remarkable Iowa State turnaround has people buzzing about Cyclones hoops again
In three days, the Cyclones proved they are for real by beating a top 25 team in Xavier and a top 10 club in Memphis.www.desmoinesregister.com
Below the author's name it says "published at 8:02 AM" (maybe just the photos?), and then after that, "updated at 9:09 AM."
Again, the link when I went there was in the upper right corner of their homepage (under Top Headlines). When I went there just now, it is no longer on their homepage -- in either the upper right, or under the sports section on the homepage. I had to click on their Sports section to find the headline listed under their Sports section. I found this part interesting, "Otzelberger, who prides himself on avoiding social media and not paying any attention to what traditional media says or writes" [emphasis added].
Here are a couple of paragraphs:
I've always thought and still do that college basketball should start around early January and end in late May.No one cares about college bball until March
I don't think people understand how much ESPN cut their staff as well. Not that that should be an excuse, but I can see they'll put the labor where it's most effective.Good points and all that but but bear in mind I clicked on NCAAM. It’s worse than some people realize I think. I don’t expect to get more attention than Dukeor KU but thought there would be a headline. Such a deliberate panning to include headlines for OSU-MICHIGAN football in the mens bball section. But who knows maybe we will get a surprising writeup
