It was separate. Iowa State played Tennessee and ole Miss for the challenge those years
Iowa State Schedules Purdue for MBB
- Thread starter ClonesFTW
- Start date
I don't think Greg will ever step foot in a populated Hilton as a Coach again
id be okay with Creighton vs ISU in Des Moines
Coach S. mentioned about it when he was talking about the welfare of his Houston players a week ago.
in the modern era, we have mostly struggled agaisnt the better Big 10 teams. I remember losing to Ohio State 4 times(twice in the tournment), Purdue in the tournament, Illiniois in the tournament. I remember spliting with Michigan and of course beating Wiscosnin in the tournament.
Sampson and Self have both mentioned it in press conferences and Wes Miller and someone else have said 20 conference games aren't doable after Christmas having to go across 3 timezones
Move one game to early/mid-December, and create an open date in late Jan/early Feb.
They didn't get paid to do it this time. They can negotiate going up to 20 when the time comes
Super Cool!
The sport needs relevant games in November and December.

Glad we got a legit home-home done.
Wonder if we try to play another legit high major in KC?

As others observed, this likely is the swap for Big12/BigEast dissolution. But I'd embrace an additional home/home or neutral vs. significant competition. Maybe it won't happen for 2025-26, but perhaps an overlap with Purdue in Ames the following season and start another home-and-home or one-off neutral. That could depend on what MTE we have, certainly.
all knowing randy hinting at it. must be true
Check out the first response to Randy. That's 100% confirmation that the BIG 12 is going back to 18 games.
Does the Purdue game simply replace the Big 12 / Big East Challenge? I could see another Power 5 addition to the schedule since the conference slate is moving back to 18 games next season.
